About The Photographer

Cropped screen shot 2017 05 10 at 8.27.21 pm
Hello! My name is Joshua Ward, and I am a junior at River Hill High School in Clarksville, Maryland. I have been a nature enthusiast and animal lover since I was a small child, and a few years ago I was given my first camera by my parents, and so a whole new field of experiences with nature was revealed to me. I aspire to become a wildlife biologist with experience in animal photography and artwork.
