About Jim:
Jim Stamates is a world renowned wildlife photographer who has resided in South Shore for more than 30 years. As a wildlife photographer for 30 years, Jim has been published world-wide, and developed ‘low impact field techniques” for nature photographers. In addition to his photography, he has also developed “In The Rhythm Tours and WorkshopsTM.
Jim describes his Theory of Rhythms:
“I have always used ‘natural rhythms’ to connect with wildlife but never really understood how, or why, it worked. The more I researched my theory the more I understood how natural rhythms play a very important part in my photography and my life. I am now able to use it more effectively.
It is how I make photographs that bring the spirit of the subject to the viewer of my images. When I go on a shoot, I seldom go with a preconceived idea of what I am looking for. Instead, I wait to see what nature offers me. Getting ‘In The Rhythm’ helps me connect with nature and puts me in the right place when I need to be there. Does it always work? Yes!”
