I had the privilege of spending the day with Jose Madrigal, a dedicated wildlife photographer specializing in pollinators and dragonflies. To him, they are not just subjects but intricate beings worth days of immersive exploration in the field. His relentless pursuit of capturing their essence allows him to delve into their world, understand their behaviors, and meticulously plan unique shots.

What sets Jose apart is his holistic approach to the ecosystem. Beyond photography, he actively contributes to bee conservation as a beekeeper. I deeply admire artists like Jose who passionately immerse themselves in their craft and contribute meaningfully to the world around them. Photos of bees by Jose.
