Troy Bynum is a hobby naturalist and committed wildlife photographer local to the Philadelphia area. He finds joy in drawing attention to the beauty of the natural world around us with a keen skill of discovering amazing wildlife in more urban settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing up, Troy was always interested in nature, but in late 2019 he developed a passion for wildlife as well. He now enjoys the challenges of documenting different species in their natural habitat without disturbing the wildlife. Troy’s also motivated and inspired by his daughter, Leia who also shares an interest in nature and a passion for learning. Together, they go on adventures exploring nature and learning more about the animals around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the future, Troy hopes to travel internationally with the specific intentions of documenting wildlife species around the world.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
