P. Brian Machanic

Brian's abiding love for nature dates back to an idyllic childhood spent exploring the woods and streams of his native Vermont. As a young adult, Brian furthered his knowledge of wildlife with an undergraduate major in Zoology. In addition to his B.A., Brian holds a Master's degree in Human Pathology and a Doctorate in Medicine.

Despite a professional "detour" in medicine for several decades, Brian has continued his passion for nature, and for photography as an art expression, culminating in the founding of Nature's Eye Studio in 1990. Currently, Nature's Eye sells wildlife and scenic images to both national and regional publications, as well as to select retail outlets. Brian has received several awards for excellence in photography, and his work has been described by such editors as Tom Slayton of Vermont Life magazine as "...outstanding, especially the wildlife photography."

The images shown in this website can be purchased as the print only (in sizes specified), or mounted and matted — i.e. ready for framing — or fully framed and ready for hanging.
