Contact Betty Byrd Photography

"Ever since I’ve known Betty (and that goes back decades), she’s always had a knack for creativity and an eye for composition. Once she and her camera became inseparable, I was privileged to see the consistent high quality of the nature photographs she was taking. From her breathtaking subdued light photo of a black panther with his eyes practically glowing, to the perfectly timed shot of a bald eagle in flight just as the bird and Betty locked eyes, to her dramatic photo of a swan gracefully gliding above a reedy marsh in the late afternoon light, I realized that she had found her true passion and calling. Just check out her amazing Arctic tundra pictures of a polar bear named Bob and you’ll see what I mean!"

"Betty’s work is stunning. Whether she is capturing an animal in its natural habitat or photographing the animals at the zoo, you can see her compassion and love of the animal kingdom. Listening to stories of her adventures, you can feel the excitement of seeing a polar bear strutting across the tundra or observing a mother cheetah attending to her young. However, when you see the photos, you are suddenly there with Betty and the sea turtle exploring the coast of Bora Bora. With the click of a button she has a way of dropping you smack dab in the middle of pod of orcas. You get to experience the grace and beauty of these living creatures- great or small. You can see in her work, the talent, the passion, the inspiration and one can’t help but be mesmerized."

"Betty Byrd’s photography grapples me! Passionate about her work, Betty delves into the world of wildlife animals with extensive abandonment and propels you into the animal’s world. After seeing the Black Panther, I simply could not resist having him. Her photograph makes my senses come alive as I can feel the muscles burning as the panther stalks his prey with intensity in his eyes that he will be the eventual winner. Whether it be the fierceness of the lion, gentility of the bird, or playfulness of the bear, Betty captures the message in the moment. I look forward to owning another!"
