For over 25 years, Wendy Shattil has traveled North America and beyond to photograph wildlife and nature. From her first job as a photographer on an archaeological excavation in the Middle East, Wendy has created her own path through the field of outdoor photography. Extensive experience, tenacity and patience have carried Wendy to the top of her profession.

Wendy was the first woman to win Grand Prize in the worldwide BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. Other awards and recognitions include: Grand Prize in the Valley Land Fund Wildlife Photo Contest, NANPA's Philip Hyde Grant for Environmental Photography, Outstanding Conservationist and Outstanding Business Partner of the Year from the Colorado Wildlife Federation, the NANPA Outstanding Service Award, and induction into the NANPA Fellowship.

With a primary interest in environmental photography, Wendy's specialties include endangered species and fragile habitats. Teamed with longtime partner, Bob Rozinski, Wendy has produced ten books, and their images appear in virtually all nature and conservation magazines nationally and internationally including: National Wildlife, Audubon, Smithsonian, BBC Wildlife, Natural History, Nature's Best, Ranger Rick, and National Geographic publications. Her images also appear in countless advertisements, textbooks, calendars, museum exhibits, and galleries.
