After several years of photographing news for the Associated Press, U.S. News & World Report, Time, and numerous newspapers and magazines across the country, Lynda Richardson handed in her press credentials for the natural world.

Today, nearly twenty years later, the Richmond, Virginia-based wildlife and environmental photojournalist, is known for the "beyond the call of duty" effort she puts into each assignment and her ability to capture subjects combining unique perspectives with unusual techniques.

Lynda was included as one of the top female, outdoor photographers in Nature's Best Magazine and continues to prove herself on assignments for Smithsonian, National Wildlife, The Nature Conservancy, and many others nationally, as well as internationally. Some of her corporate wildlife work includes companies such as Vulcan Materials Co., BP Amoco, and Browning-Ferris Industries. Her stock images are sold to magazines, organizations, advertisers, designers, and photo buyers all over the world.

Lynda is also known for her entertaining photography workshops and themed slide shows given to prestigious organizations including the Explorer's Club in New York. She has received numerous awards in competitions such as University of Missouri�s �Pictures of the Year� and the Nature�s Best International Photography Competition.
