About / Jonathan Byrne

Hi, I'm
Jonny.

I'm a travel and wildlife photographer based in South Florida. I photograph wild places, distinctive cultures, and the small everyday moments that make a place feel real.

My favorite work starts the slow way: on foot, before sunrise, and with enough patience to wait for weather, wildlife, and light to make up their minds. That approach has taken me across five continents, from the Bolivian salt flats and Peruvian Andes to Japan's pilgrim trails and the fjords of Alaska.

My photography has been featured by the national tourism boards of Bolivia and Peru, and I have sold more than 500 stock licenses. I have visited 31 of the 63 US national parks and collect the official brochure from every one. Closer to home, I also photograph graduations, engagements, events, athletics, portraits, and brand work.

Off the trail, I am a physician in training and an ultrarunner. Both reward the same habits as photography: preparation, patience, and staying calm when the conditions are not cooperating.
