Keith Wallach
Keith Wallach is a wildlife and nature photographer based on the North Coast of Oregon. He specializes in bird photography and aims to bring awareness to coastal birds and wildlife by creating emotive imagery to spark conversation within the conservation space. He partners with local and regional nonprofits to create imagery for their conservation campaigns, marketing efforts and to create impact for species in need.
He grew up in Northern California playing competitive sports and attended Cal State Monterey Bay on a baseball scholarship. After a career-ending injury and being forced to reinvent his path he relocated to the Pacific Northwest and obtained a BFA in Graphic Design from Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, OR. During his time in the Portland area he fell in love with nature, hiking, camping, and anything else that could get him away from the city. It was not soon after that he found a camera in his hands to share the memories he was creating in the mountains with family and friends. This quickly changed into much more than just documenting trips and he found himself neck deep in photography. He has not looked back.
Keith is an award-winning and published OM System Ambassador that offers workshops that span from getting to know your camera and in the field teaching, to post-processing.
