Ryan Wickiser

I am a 30 year old biologist and photographer currently based out of Columbus, OH specializing in wildlife and landscape photography. I began photographing the natural world in 2018.

I am from Columbus, Ohio and attended college at West Virginia University graduating with a bachelor's degree in Wildlife & Fisheries Resources. My first professional experience was surveying for native turtles in restored ponds and wetlands throughout West Virginia. I have now worked as a wildlife field biologist in California for seven years, surveying for species of high concern including Spotted Owls, Great Gray Owls, American Goshawks, Yellow & Red Legged Frogs, and various mammals. 

​Every time that I am working in the field, or just visiting a favorite location, I hope to encounter amazing moments in the natural world that I can capture for inspiring images and videos. 

I hope you enjoy!
