APRIL MCNIFF PHOTOGRAPHY

About Me

My name is April McNiff, and I'm a passionate nature photographer based in Western NC. I find true inspiration amidst the breathtaking mountains. Applying what I learned after acquiring my BFA in Photography and over 15 years in the field, my focus is on the beauty of flora, fauna, and landscapes. Through digital, I craft black & white and color works, inviting viewers to cherish the intricacies of nature's wonders. My goal is to highlight the importance of observing and appreciating these moments, capturing the essence of life's fleeting beauty.
