History
Established in 1997.
Mike MacDonald is an internationally published nature photographer, specializing in celebrating the high quality habitats and biodiversity of the Chicago area.
As an amateur, photographing nature for only 18 months, Mike made his first photographic submission to the nationally acclaimed Outdoor Photographer Magazine. He was published. Just weeks later, his work was accepted by Petersen’s Photographic.
Mike’s interest in biodiversity began with the launch of Chicago Wilderness Magazine, where he learned what nature was all about, growing to become the magazine’s most prominently published photographer.
Located in Downers Grove, Illinois, we offer a broad range of nature photography products and services: from fine art prints to photography classes, nature note cards to nature Christmas cards, stock photography to public speaking.
Mike is also the creator of Creative Eye Workshops, a curriculum of digital photography classes and digital camera classes for photographers of all levels.
Meet the Business Owner
Mike M.
Business Owner
Mike MacDonald is a passionate creative force. His nature photographs celebrate the rich biodiversity and stunning natural beauty that exist in amidst the booming metropolis of the Chicago area.
This level of passion has made Mike into one of Chicago’s most noted photographers, proven by his many covers and full-page photos in the award-winning Chicago Wilderness Magazine and the cover of the internationally acclaimed Gardens Illustrated. His nature photographs and how-to photography articles have been published nationally in Petersen’s Photographic Magazine and Outdoor Photographer Magazine.
With degrees in mathematics and physics, combined with careers as a scientific programmer, professional comedian, and nature photographer, Mike’s background may seem quite complex. Yet, complexity is exactly the opposite of his photography and his teaching. His photographs are elegant and often confused as paintings, and making complicated topics easy to understand is his specialty.
