I specialize in photos of creatures that frighten or repulse most people, whether they're really dangerous or not. A large percentage of my stock images deal with venomous reptiles and invertebrates, especially snakes and arachnids. However, I have coverage of many other taxa, including everything from worms like leeches to marine life like sharks and sting rays and, yes, even some birds and mammals. Half of my stock is reptile images.
All images are 35 mm format. Label data include genus and species (exception: some in situ invertebrates can only be identified to family or genus) and whether the creature was photographed in situ, in captivity, or in the wild under controlled conditions.
