Photography by Amy Taracido

Photography by Amy Taracido Wildlife and Nature Photography Hobbyist since 1998. NO AI. Nature + wildlife photography has been my hobby and passion since 1998.

My particular passion is macro photography (floral and insect). My photos have been featured in local birding newsletters, habitat conservation publications, conservation conferences, stock photography, Megashot.net/Macro Photography, Flickr, Viewbug, and a Bugfest event hosted by the AmeriCorps Mountains to the Sea at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences. I would love to have my photos featured in P

ennsylvania nature magazines and other media or social media. I also have been a hobbyist portrait photographer since 2009, mostly with outdoor natural light settings. My collections can be seen at amytaracido.smugmug.com as well as at flickr.com/amytaracido

This page is dedicated to my passion for photography and is for displaying my work for others to see. Please do not copy or steal my work for any reason! Please note I still have my original photography site at amytaracido.wixsite.com/altphotography, however since it is full I am continuing my portfolio at amytaracido.smugmug.com !
