Natural Exposures is the exclusive showcase for the wildlife stock photography and nature pictures of Daniel J. Cox. It is through his rich and broad experience, nearly 30 years of working this medium, that he provides us with access to a world of wildlife, scenery, travel and science that few of us have a chance to see—or feel—in person. Dan’s work vividly expresses his own philosophical concerns about conservation, animal welfare, and our fragile green earth. His wildlife stock photography archives offer an unparalleled selection of pictures—over 500,000—of wildlife, conservation issues, animal behavior, exotic cultures, natural history, science and travel photography. What Dan communicates in every photo is a passion for his subjects—a virtual story in a single image that resonates hope or despair, survival or demise, bounty or depletion. Beauty. Awe. Eloquence. And wonder. We invite you to explore Dan’s world of breathless beauty, heart-stopping action, and countless one-of-a-kind events. Choose from hundreds of different subjects within ecosystems from Antarctica to Zaire. All of them represent the best of Daniel J. Cox's vision, talent, and skill as a photojournalist traveling the world.

Polar Sea Ice Breaker Shoot for PBI and National Science Foundation

For the very first time, researchers are studying polar bear ecology as it relates to the changing ice conditions in the southern Beaufort and Chukchi Seas. Until this expedition all polar bear studies have been based from land. With the help of the US Coast Guard icebreaker Polar Sea and the National Science Foundation, scientists from the University of Wyoming as well as the University of Alaska, Fairbanks spent five weeks collecting data from the sea ice and the polar bears that make this habitat their home. The photographs on these web pages document all aspects of this project from the polar bears above to the amphipods below. See more photos...

Ecuador Rain Forest and Galapagos Islands

We recently returned from another great photography adventure. My wife Tanya and I took a group of enthusiastic photography friends to the Amazon basin and the Galapagos Islands. I've not spent a great deal of time in South America but it truly is an amazing place and provides fabulous photographic opportunities. We began our adventure in the high mountain city of Quito Ecuador, progressed to the Amazon basin and a beautiful rain forest lodge and finally on to the Galapagos Islands. If you;re interested you can follow the link to a collection of images I shot. Enjoy the pictures and if you have an interest in joing us on our next adventure just drop us an email or give us a call.
