While searching for bears on the beach in Chinitna Bay this Red Fox appeared in the Forest of the Rock Outcrop that overhangs the bay. Framing itself perfectly in the opening it watched us as we watched him.

I have been a finalist three times in the BBC & London’s Natural History Museum “Wildlife Photographer of the Year” competition. Been published by National Wildlife Federation, North America Nature Photographers Association and the “American Society of Media Photographers” In January I was a runner up and Judges Choice winner in the North American Nature Photographers Association 2024 Annual competition and Top 24 Showcase. On this occasion I was honored to be the only photographer with two awarded images in the Top 24 Showcase. In June of 2024 I was announced as the Winner in the Wildlife Category Series in American Society of Media Photographers Annual Showcase competition. My goal is capture and create images that connect people with nature so that they will care more about things they may have or will never see.Follow Chris on Instagram: @chrishiggsphotography
