About Jerry & Barb Jividen

Jerry and Barb Jividen are the husband/wife creators of this team. They share more than three decades of producing nature and wildlife images; and serve as contributors to many publishers. Their style of photography showcases wildlife in natural settings in a variety of seasons and life cycles. Especially known for their dynamic portraits of wild animals, the couple also produce images that encompass wild spaces and habitats—at times, creating intricate macro vignettes.
Their passion for the natural world and its conservation have helped direct and shape them into the photographers and artists they are today. They work together as stock photographers, authors, speakers, workshop leaders, photo tour guides, photography educators, and conservationists.
With a background in magazine production and studio work, their multi-facetted approach to nature and wildlife photography pushes them to the forefront in fine art photography.
