God is a creator. He designed us to create. We bring Him glory by using the gifts that he has bestowed upon us to create. Wildlife photographers are in a unique situation in that we create works based upon God’s creation. Our images express his glory to a wide audience of believers and non-believers.
I’ve been thinking about this quite a bit and decided to put some of my thoughts into a video that I hope will encourage others to create wildlife photography with a renewed purpose and focus.
I don’t know exactly how my content and messaging will look different moving forward. Maybe it won’t look different at all, but I hope to be extra mindful of WHY I create as I go out into the field and I edit and share the images and videos that I create.
I didn’t mention this in the video, but I think that in order to reach non-believers and draw them closer to God, we need to be careful to avoid being too pushy. But maybe your calling is to encourage those who already believe? Whatever audience you decide to target, there is a NEED for Christian content on social media and everywhere else. The opposition has plenty of voices. We need Christian voices.
This video is for YOU: The Christian wildlife and nature photographer who has already been convicted of their calling. Let’s use our gift to praise and honor God.
I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
