My name is Louis Valenti, and I am a nature photographer currently residing in Saratoga Springs, New York. My goal is to share, through my photography, the beauty and uniqueness of places such as Saratoga, New York’s parks, trails, and preserves, and inspire a greater appreciation and deeper understanding of our natural world while promoting the preservation of wild places everywhere.
We live in a beautiful natural world surrounded by so many amazing and wonderful creatures. Since I can remember, nature and a passion for photography have been a part of me. But it was not photography that brought me to nature, it was nature that drew me to photography. Nature is alive, the images are real, and my aim is to reach my audience in a way that emotionally connects them with the wild creatures and breathtaking scenery that I photograph. Yet ultimately, it is my sincerest hope that the impact of my project extends beyond visual pleasure and that the people who see my work become more conscience of the importance of environmental stewardship and take action to protect it.
