Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Kyle Moon. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Kyle, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you share a customer success story with us?

As a professional wildlife photographer, I’ve gone through the ringer of figuring things out the hard way. I take my 12 years of experience and help my clients achieve their dream shots they are seeking. It takes a lot more than just going out and pressing the shutter button in the classic spray and pray fashion. There’s a lot of thought that needs to go into a photograph to bring it to life and that’s exactly what I teach. I guide my clients on the process they should be taking to set themselves up for the shot. That is ensuring they’re prepared and understand the proper camera settings and composition. Next level is understanding animal behavior, knowing the landscape, and anticipating their movements. A recent client of mine expressed how helpful I was in changing her outlook on setting up for the shot and thinking about the background and composition. She was so happy with her photograph from our trip that she had it printed and framed and is now selling that print, but more importantly, she now has developed a new approach that she can apply to her craft as a photographer that will take her to the next level.

Kyle, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I am a professional nature & wildlife photographer based out of Gardiner, Montana. I’ve worked conservation jobs ranging from Florida to Guyana, to Alaska and Montana. I’ve traveled the world on many outdoor adventures, honing my photography skills along the way.

I inadvertently got hooked on nature photography when I took an avian biology class in college. At first, I was using my camera as a tool for identification, but I would occasionally score a photograph that was gratifying. Once I was comfortable identifying birds, I strived to compose better photographs and develop my photographic eye.

Now, there are many reasons why I grab my camera and go, but my motivation is led by impact and my insatiable appetite for the outdoors. I have a large network of followers that have expressed vicarious appreciation for the subjects I capture.

As a photographer, I really find it therapeutic to immerse yourself in Nature. My camera is just a tool to express my love for wildlife. For those that are interested, I share my methods on how to truly immerse yourself in their world while ethically capturing those National Geographic moments.

When one of my clients walk away I want them to leave feeling more confident in their ability to capture the shots they wish to achieve and having a greater appreciation for all things wild!

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

The impetus for my creative photography journey would be my curiosity. I use my camera as a tool to observe and capture the moments most people don’t give the time to watch. Observing through my camera teaches me about the interactions wildlife have with others. Additionally, I use my camera to capture subjects I’m unfamiliar with to look into later. So my creative journey is fed by my own curiosity in highlighting amazing moments in Nature.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

The most rewarding aspect of being a creative artist is bringing to life what I see. I spend so much time in Nature and when I click that shutter button on my camera I am storing a memory that is not to be forgotten. Anytime I take a picture I can look at it and determine where I was when I took that photo and it takes me back every time.
