Camera Trap Photography
Using DSLR camera traps set deep in Maine's remote wilderness, I've spent years documenting the hidden behaviors and quiet moments that most people never see. These setups—carefully placed, ethically managed, and checked with minimal disturbance—reveal the secret life of our forests: a bull moose moving silently through dawn fog, a black bear investigating the night, an elusive lynx padding across fresh snow, or a bobcat pausing in a moonlit clearing.
The beauty of this approach lies in its patience and non-intrusiveness—letting the animals dictate the scene while I capture what happens when no one's watching. From northern Maine's dense woods to western ridges, these images uncover the unseen rhythms of New England's wildlife, often in conditions too challenging or remote for traditional photography.
Explore the gallery below for these rare, intimate glimpses captured over more than a decade. I hope they spark the same sense of wonder and respect for the wild that keeps me returning to the trails.
