Beth Maynor Young is a conservation photographer. She has been taking photos of the outdoors for many years. Using the landscapes of the South as her subjects, she captures the beauty of the natural world.
Her hope is that her photography will remind people that not every beautiful place is protected and that without our help, these places may one day be destroyed. In allowing people to see what a rich heritage the natural world of the South has, by going to places many of us will never go, Beth Young hopes that we may grow a desire to preserve it.
Beth's digital nature photography shows a great understanding of light and use of color. She is able to capture still and simple beauty amidst a busy, overlooking world. Her photographs are peaceful and calming, showing nature as it really is- not just how we perceive it.
When I look at her photos, I feel inspired to go out into nature to find places such as these to capture and share with people. I love taking outdoor and landscape photos, so Beth Young is definitely an inspiration for me. I also love knowing that nothing is contrived. It is all natural- every photo shows exactly what is there, and Beth Young very effectively captures the reality of nature's beauty.

Good. How could you bring your interest in outdoor photo / landscape into the typology project?
