Todd Winslow Pierce is a professional landscape and conservation photographer, writer and producer based in his hometown of Vail, Colorado. His images have appeared in numerous national and regional publications, ad campaigns, custom publishing projects and fine art installations. His assignments have taken him to locations throughout the US, Canada, Europe, Costa Rica and the Caribbean.
Todd has also been commissioned for private art collections and custom publishing projects, including multi-year photographic documentation, book design, prepress color management, press checks and specialty binding. His experience, professionalism and meticulous attention to detail are hallmarks of his work with clients and collaborators.
Although Todd mastered diverse photographic disciplines over the course of his 28-year career, his deep connection to nature forged a consistent focus on landscape & conservation photography that serves as the centerpiece of his work today.
In 2020 he founded Eagle Valley Wild, a non-profit enterprise funded by corporate sponsors and individual donors that provides free or low-cost photography to conservation-related organizations and initiatives in Eagle County, Colorado.
Todd believes in the power of visual storytelling as an instrument for change, one that relies on a foundation of ethical creation and faithful representation. Todd's creative philosophy is based on a comprehensive understanding of geography, meteorology, visual psychology and minimal post-processing.
AFFILIATE SPONSORS
Some of the Earth's greatest landscapes and treasured natural areas are threatened by increased visitation and general lack of care. Nature First Principles were developed to help educate and guide both professional and recreational photographers in sustainable, minimal impact practices that will help preserve nature’s beautiful locations.
Todd joined Nature First as an Ambassador in March, 2022 to share and promote the primary tenet that the well-being of nature and wildlife takes priority over "getting the shot" and that photographers can play an influential role in the protection of the natural world.
