Welcome to my website! My name is Daniel Gomez, and I am a nature photographer based in San Antonio, Texas with a particular focus on avian wildlife.

My journey first began as a birder, well before picking up my first camera and lens. I can remember fondly going on family vacations to Deep South Texas to birding hotspots such as the Lower Rio Grande Valley and King Ranch, seeing spectacular birds such as the Vermillion Flycatcher, Great Kiskadee, Green Jay, and much more.

During the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, I had just gone through a knee surgery. I decided to purchase a camera and lens to photograph birds in my backyard while I was recovering. Since then, I fell in love with the art of photography and the desire to build my connection to nature and the world around us.

I am both a current and active member in the Bexar County Audubon Society, and the Native Plant Society of Texas. Also, I previously served as a board member for the San Antonio Audubon Society.

Today, you can find me always chasing that next best shot, but still always working to improve my photography and like I previously mentioned, my connection to nature. I have a beautiful wife and daughter that are always with me on my travels and my biggest support, and I love them both with all my heart.

I created this site as a platform to share my images and insights on all aspects of wildlife and nature photography.

I am truly grateful to have learned from two of the finest avian wildlife photographers in the United States, Scott Keys and Ray Hennessy. Both of these talented photographers have generously shared their expertise, and I highly recommend their mentorship programs to anyone looking to elevate their wildlife photography. Their unique perspectives and approach to capturing the beauty of nature have been a significant inspiration throughout my photography journey.

I offer hands-on photo tours in regions like the Texas Hill Country and the Lower Rio Grande Valley. These tours are designed to help you connect with the beauty of Texas and enhance your photography skills. Please visit the Photo Tours section, and join me in experiencing the diverse wildlife that Texas has to offer.
