Sean Fitzgerald started out as an attorney at a huge law firm but was creatively frustrated by the buttoned down, left-brain legal world. "I was bored out of my skull." He now photographs full time.

His images have been published in Professional Photographer, Outdoor Photographer, The New York Times, Audubon Nature Calendars, Texas Highways, Photo-Media, and various other publications.

With his partner, he won 2nd, 3rd and 4th grand prizes in the Valley Land Fund Wildlife Photo Contests. Competing on his own, Sean won both the 2001 and 2003 Coastal Bend Wildlife Photography Contests. He also won the landscape and wildlife categories and the grand prize award in the 2003 World in Focus nature photography competition.

At the 2001 Fotofusion International Photography Festival, he was chosen by Art Wolfe to receive the festival's Rising Star Photographer Award.

Sean was the featured photographer in the September 2001 issue of Professional Photographer and the July 2003 issue of PhotoMedia. His work has recently appeared in the TV show, "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," and in Photo Portfolio Success, a book by Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer John Kaplan.
