Don Quintana

Donald Quintana is a Nature and Wildlife Photographer originally from California’s Central Coast, where his family were early settlers in Morro Bay. He has always found comfort and renewal in time spent amidst the natural world. His greatest joy comes from capturing fleeting moments in nature that are often overlooked by the casual observer and sharing them with others. He now resides in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and his work has earned recognition in international photo contests, including Nature’s Best and the National Audubon Society.
His photographs have also been published in magazines, calendars, and online articles, and he has received honors from the North American Nature Photographers Association. Bird photography is one of his greatest passions within the broader field of nature photography.
