Photography and National Parks: A Perfect Union

National parks in the United States have been a staple destination of nature and wildlife photographers for over a century. A huge part of the appeal is that national parks are protected and preserved, and so they stay pristine and as close as they can to when they first came to existence.

Climate change, sadly, has changed the appearance of several national parks over the past few decades. This is both a warning and an invitation to photographers since they have to hurry to catch the waning beauty of some parks, while given the chance to document these cataclysmic changes.

On the side of the parks, the more photographers who come and shoot in them, the more promotion and exposure they get. This added social awareness makes for more people willing to participate in their protection. This creates new campaigns, and newer ways to send word that parks have to be preserved for future generations.

A huge plus is that national parks reward photographers with health advantages that only national parks can give. The pollution-free air is enough to relax the lungs of a photographer, and all that hiking will surely give them a good work out. Finally, going through these parks can be stress-relieving on both the body and mind, as is photography.
