Shawn Eggleston

The view on nature through Shawn’s lens is grounded in humble admiration and honesty. Since he was a young boy, Shawn's nature photography has told stories of peace, power and the imperative for conservation. As he watches others view bears for the first time, another story begins as he passes along the art of capturing that remarkable moment in time. Shawn believes he has grown to be a better human by being a witness to the beauty and authenticity of these magnificent creatures, and he aspires to share this experiential growth with others through his role as a guide, especially in the art of nature photography.

When the bears sleep, you will find Shawn doing the same in his hammock on his mountain property, or on whatever continent is hosting his next adventure. Otherwise, look up—he may be surfing the sky in his glider.

Praise from Nat Hab Travelers:
Shawn was superb. The knowledge he had of the area we explored, the history, the wildlife, the geology, the climate, the issues relating to conservation and most of all how to find the animals was superb. When any guest had a problem he was quick to come up with solutions. I can't say enough good things about him.
