Bob Harvey is at home in the natural world, happiest when walking a forest trail, wandering down a secluded beach, or exploring a  canyon, camera in hand.  Bob’s photography and communications skills, coupled with his love of the natural world, have led him to a career in tourism that has taken him to some of the most exciting natural photo wonderlands of the world.   

Bob has taught photography for over 20 years, first to college students, then to people traveling to learn in special environments.  His teaching is based on the fundamentals of photographic technique rather than techno gizmos – and on knowing and seeing the natural world around.  Bob is equally at home with a view camera or a digital camera, and can plan for a “fine print” or a “web” gallery, weighing appropriate technical decisions along the way.  His teaching technique strives to take the mystery out of photographic processes and free the photographer to interpret the scene.  

Bob’s photography has been seen 'round the world in publications, multi-image slide programs, books, and through the internet.  Bob and his partner Diane Kelsay have co-authored several photography based natural history books, which have received international acclaim.   

Bob is an experienced natural history guide, as well as a photographic instructor.  He shares his fascination with the flora and fauna, geology, weather, and archaeology with those he is guiding and teaching.
