Wildlife Photography, Bucket List Trips, and Ethical Relationships With Wildlife With Ben Bluhm- FYW11

Ben Bluhm is 28 years old and grew up in the Boston area and has lived in Utah for over six years. From Ben,"I have been seriously pursuing wildlife photography since the spring of 2022. I spend as much time as I possibly can in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. I also visit Glacier National Park at least once a year and have been to Alaska and the Canadian Rockies (Banff/Jasper) to photograph wildlife as well. I also try to find critters locally here in Utah when I can. For me, wildlife photography has moved beyond a hobby and is my lifestyle and obsession. Everything revolves around it. If I could do this every day for the rest of my life it still wouldn't be enough. At the end of the day, I want to make a difference in helping our wildlife be protected and conserved. My favorite animal (as most already know) is the Gray Wolf. I spend an insane amount of time in Yellowstone trying to find and photograph what I consider to be the most beautiful and majestic creature that walks this earth. I have been blessed to see and photograph these animals over 30 times so far in my life. The only thing that matters is protecting and conserving them. I also do volunteer work for @utahmtlionconservation and do social media and have had the opportunity to do field work. I am extremely passionate about mountain lions as well and want to do what I can to help protect and conserve them. My dog, Brady, is a border collie mix and he's my best friend. We go everywhere together! He's a constant companion on all of my photography trips. I work for an insurance company here in Utah so wildlife photography is not my full-time job!'
