Perry J Locke is a native Floridian with a passion for photography.
The Abundance of wetlands. woodlands and wildlife within Florida provide him many opportunities to pursue his passions.
While growing up. he could be found camping. horseback riding and swimming with family and friends. where he gained a great appreciation for the environment.
For as long as he can remember he has been aware ot the environment and the beauty it provides us.
"I enjoy the whole the process of photography, from working in the studio with a client for a portrait session, to arising early in the morning to capture the moment when the light the tones and the shapes are just right, sometimes returning many times to the same location in order to capture what I had envisioned in my mind.
I am continually striving for perfection to capture that moment in the camera, to convey that instant of time to you the viewer of my photographs".
