Biography

Brian Zwiebel began his journey with birds by enrolling in an Ornithology class at Hocking College in 1993. Six years later he began photographing the subjects he had come to know so well. His extensive photo files include over 350 species of North American birds captured on either 35mm film or digital media.

Brian's photographic journey has taken him from his home in NW Ohio, to nearby Michigan, South Florida, west through the prairie states and both coasts. Some of his most memorable trips have been too arctic regions of Alaska and Canada. In June 2007 he spent two weeks photographing tundra nesting birds at Barrow, AK and the Arctic NWR.

Currently Brian is a District Loss Prevention Manager for the Kroger Co. He and his wife Stacey have paint horses on their farm in Oregon, OH where they are enjoying raising two foals that were born earlier this spring. This summer he will be going back to Alaska to lead a photo tour.

His work has been prominently featured in exhibits at Magee Marsh in Ohio, Lake Erie Nature and Science center in Bay Village, OH and at the National Center for Nature Photography in Toledo, OH. Currently a selection of his prints is available for sale at the Black Swamp Bird Observatory gift shop at the entrance to Magee Marsh.

Brian also gives lectures on birds and photography. His award winning photography has been internationally published in various books and magazine including Birding World, Bird Watching and ABA’s magazine Birding.
