I have pledged to uphold the seven principles of Nature First. If you are a photographer or business that supports photographers, I encourage you to visit Nature First – The Alliance for Responsible Nature Photography and consider taking the pledge.
Principles
- Prioritize the well-being of nature over photography.
- Educate yourself about the places you photograph.
- Reflect on the possible impact of your actions.
- Use discretion if sharing locations.
- Know and follow rules and regulations.
- Always follow Leave No Trace principles and strive to leave places better than you found them.
- Actively promote and educate others about these principles.
