Cathy Illg

Although Cathy always had a knack for snapping clever photos of the birds and the bees (initially with her Kodak Instamatic), it was marriage and the purchase of a 500mm lens that really got her to focus on wildlife photography as a life’s work.

Admitting that she is often attracted to places and species that others have passed by, Cathy explains that, “Every thing in nature, no matter how common or overlooked, has a story to tell and can play a central role in the creation of an exceptional photograph.”
