About Joe Endy

I am an award-winning Wildlife photographer from Pennsylvania.
Spine and heart surgery changed a lot of things for me. I decided to take up photography. My love for Nature lead me in the direction of Wildlife Photography.
I started with a point and shoot camera and I was immediately hooked!
I ended up getting a DSLR camera 5 months later and learned as much as I could. I now added a mirrorless camera to my gear.

I push myself to learn more & more every day. I love to get outdoors and photograph nature. I enjoy other types of photography, but wildlife photography is my passion. My spine problems limit my exploration, but I always find a way to get interesting shots. Being out in nature with my camera helps me deal with the stress of daily life and back/neck pain.
