My Top 5 Delaware Photographers to Follow
For this list, I am focusing exclusively on the photographers’ nature photography - meaning landscapes and wildlife - so if that is not something they do (at least to my knowledge), then they will be excluded from this list. So with that, let’s get into it and check out some of the nature photographers from my home state that I most enjoy following on social media:
I’ve not had the chance to get out and shoot with Elliot yet, but I would definitely jump at the chance to in the future!

In addition to being a talented photographer, Kevin is also a genuine and caring person. Thanks to him, I’ve been able to encounter many of the wild horses in the Maryland herd at Assateague Island, spot seals on the Delaware Bay ice breakers, and tag along on countless other journeys. Kevin is always helping out his fellow photographers, and you can see his impact on the local photography community in so many others.

When it comes to style, Kim’s is one of the more unique ones that I’ve seen in Delaware. She keeps her tones on the darker side, but that adds a moody depth to them that I quite enjoy personally. In her wildlife images, she has mastered the art of capturing her subject - be it a wild Assateague horse, a fox, a dolphin, or any other creature - is a way that really highlights their behavior, habitat, and features.

The way she captures the colors of a scene, especially in her landscape work, feels incredibly soft and dream-like. This really helps compliment the coastal scapes that she’s capturing. Meanwhile, while some of those comforting colors make their way into her wildlife photos, I’ve always enjoyed seeing how Susan portrays her subjects in their habitats - from herons wading in the marsh to dolphins breaching the coastal waters.
Check out Susan’s work:
What a list that is, and every single photographer on it deserves a follow from you (if you don’t follow them already)! Any time I see work from one of these talented local photographers, I get excited and motivated to match the quality of work they are putting out. Not only are they my five favorite nature photographers in Delaware, but I’d also they are among the best in the state (if not the top five).
But now I’m curious - do you think I missed anyone? Are there any nature photographers you think deserve a shout? I’d love to know what you think - leave a comment down below so other readers can check out some of your favorite Delaware nature photographers as well!
Thanks for stopping by, and catch you all on the next one!

*Important Note - The very first photo in this blog post (Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk at night) is mine. The rest were taken by the photographer with whom it accompanies in order to try showcasing what I am talking about with their work/style.
