All my new images can be found right here in my regular blog. It's a blend of my regular nature photography blog and my local photography business blog - Leighton Photography & Imaging. As there is natural overlap in interests and content, and because many photography styles can be used in just as many different situations, I've decided to just combine them here. You can learn about how I approach my photography, a lot about wildlife photography, and why I do things the way I do. For amateur beginners to experienced working professional photographers - there is something for all! Expect the unexpected...

We have so many new images for this gallery and will be adding so many more images that we decided to make it this month's featured gallery!

View the Gallery

We've got a brand new photography gallery system! Now you can view all of our images in our new layout that loads much faster and has some great new features. You can order prints in much the same manner as before, but now included are instant digital downloads of every image in our online galleries for both personal and commercial use!

After years of talking about it, planning it, traveling around the state of Florida shooting for it - I am pleased to announce that my first book, "Native Orchids of Florida" is now published and available. A great deal of time went into this project and I wanted to wait until I was ready and had enough interesting material and an understanding of our native orchids to attempt this book.

Leighton Photography & Imaging is our main photography business recently relocated to the Greater Seattle area, Washington. Nature photography is a large part of what we do, but we are by no means limited to just that. Click HERE to find out more about our company.

We started with FloridaNaturePhotography.com in 2006 in Southwest Florida, which has been steadily growing over the years and is consistently one of the most popular Florida nature and wildlife websites on the internet today. This was soon followed by LeightonPhotography.com, which is our main business website dealing with commercial, wedding, portrait and architectural photography. Both have been a massive help in getting our work displayed and available in an easy-to-view format that was also easy for us to update regularly and quickly.

I felt a need to completely redo this website because of a particular nagging problem I had. I was posting all of my nature photography on one website, and all the rest of my work was going a different/separate website. Many of the nature photographs I've been taking are outside of Florida and therefore cannot rightly be placed in the FloridaNaturePhotography.com galleries - and were not properly displayed as I would have liked. Therefore, I've decided to create this page as a part of my main website - very similar to and including much of the gallery content of FloridaNaturePhotography.com, but will also include all related images and content not pertaining to Florida. The two pages will be interconnected, but each retaining their particular uses and identities that I deliberately want to keep separate for the time being.

If you are or represent a gallery, publisher/publication, exhibition, event, vendor/reseller, or any other group interested in our work, please contact Rich or Galina Leighton HERE for more information.
