Nature's Crossing

A bull moose crosses a misty river in the Tetons one frosty morning. Getting the shot took planning and lots of research. During winter in Grand Teton National Park about twenty bull moose congregate in a specific area of sage flats where a hot spring maintains water flow.

About Artist

Brian Clopp

BRIAN CLOPP can be found on Instagram @brianclopp and @winningshotsphototours. Brian leads photography workshops with his tour guide business https://www.WinningShots.com . He also sells art prints and merchandise like mugs, puzzles, and calendars with his beautiful artwork. Additionally, Brian is a Field Journalist for the American Wild Horse Campaign. He recently launched FosterPhoto.org in partnership with Nature's Best Magazine to give foster youth access to photography training and workshops, as extracurricular activities are proven to help give underprivileged youth a chance to thrive. With WinningShots.com, he teaches photographers of all skill levels from hobbyist to professional, and donates a portion of proceeds to conservation efforts. He leads workshops locally in Utah where the wild horses roam, the Tetons where moose abound, across the USA for breathtaking landscapes, and globally for cultural immersions. After co-producing Netflix's Golden Globe-nominated film "First They Killed My Father" directed by Angelina Jolie, Clopp shifted from the city lifestyle of Los Angeles to Utah where he explored a newfound passion for wilderness photography. Clopp also won a prestigious Nature's Best award for his Utah kit fox, and won the Travel Photographer of the Year honor for his photo series on wild stallions. His portraits include noted celebrities such as President Jimmy Carter, Ted Turner, James Earl Jones, John C. Reilly, and Jesse Jackson. His Eagle Scout project as a teenager established an annual drive that continues to this day as the main source of winter clothing for Trenton's homeless, and has since been replicated in towns across the country.
