Chris Laracy
Chris Laracy is a passionate perfectionist with a deep love for wildlife photography, though his skills extend far beyond this genre. He didn’t start out in wildlife—he explored many different forms of photography before it completely stole his heart. Now, Chris lives for those peaceful moments in nature, capturing the beauty of the wild. Still, in addition to wildlife, Chris has explored and mastered various other photography categories, including landscape, flowers, and more.
Before taking the leap into full-time photography, Chris had a successful career as a pharmaceutical biochemist. He retired from that path to pursue his true passion, and it’s been the best decision of his life. Along the way, he has overcome numerous health obstacles, but as Nietzsche said, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” These challenges have only made him more compassionate, resilient, and understanding.
One of Chris’s greatest joys is teaching and helping others discover the same love he has for photography and nature. He’s always excited to share what he’s learned and inspire others to dive into the world of photography. You can check out his work on Instagram at @chris.laracy and join him on his adventure!
