Jeff Mauritzen has recently completed an extensive shoot for National Geographic Kids, photographing wildlife in Kenya, Tanzania, and the Galapagos for a recently published Animal Encyclopedia. His travels have immersed him in vivid landscapes and dramatic situations in nearly 50 countries around the world. Whether capturing 360-degree panoramas of wildlife along an African savanna or photographing sharks in the Pacific depths, Jeff’s work expresses an unwavering passion, respect, curiosity, and awe for the natural world.
Locally, Jeff shoots a mix of editorial and commercial work and has been the principal photographer for the official visitor guide books for Washington, DC, Fairfax County and Prince William County & Manassas.
When not a shooting assignment, Jeff travels and lectures as a Naturalist and Photography Expert for National Geographic Expeditions and Smithsonian Journeys. In 2014 he will be leading expeditions to the volcanoes and jungles of Costa Rica, Australia’s wild northwest as well as the ruins of Machu Picchu & Darwin’s “living laboratory” in the Galapagos Islands.
Jeff also volunteers in local wildlife and photography associations. He is the DC/South chapter president for the American Society of Picture Professionals and also volunteers his photography with Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy.
