My name (if you couldn't guess it) is Jacob Drueckhammer. Welcome to my corner of the world! I'm excited to have the chance to tell you about what I do.
Photography isn't just a job for me; it really is a way of life. I was first introduced to photography with my iPhone 5. Not amazing quality photos, but it was always fun to try capturing moments. I wasn't near serious about photography then, but I think that is what originally sparked my curiosity. When I was a Freshman in high school, I started watching more travel videos. These people would travel around the world shooting breath taking videos and pictures. I was hooked. I bought a course and began to learn.
The more I learned, the more I wanted a real camera, so on May 4th, 2022, my Canon EOS R6 arrived. In Senior year I took a photography class to learn even more, but because of my constant learning in my online class, I was way ahead of everyone else. Around this time I got my first real estate gig taking some drone photos. It went super well and soon after I did a second house and an airbnb. Around this time I realized that wildlife was a big passion of mine. I started to spend more and more time outdoors to capture the images you see on this website!
Why should you contact me?
If you have looked around my site and like my pictures, let me know! I enjoy feedback from others. If we meet in person you will soon find out that I am professional, but I also love to have a good laugh. I absolutely love wildlife. It's one of the only things in life that can get me to get out of bed early in the morning.
If you are interested in buying a print from me, that's another reason to reach out. I love sharing my work with others and you buying a print will support my dream. My dream is to help conserve our natural world.
