Ron Levy's images have been published in corporate and editorial publications in over 50 countries around the world. His travels have taken him to every continent on the globe, and he now resides in Alaska. 

Clients have included National Geographic, Time, Microsoft, AT & T, Geo, Pepsi-Cola, Westin hotels, World Wildlife Fund, BBC Wildlife, Reader's Digest, Chevrolet, National Park Service, and various tourism and ad agencies. Ron's images are distributed through stock agencies and sold as exhibition prints to private and corporate collectors. Last year, an image he took in 
Hawaii was reproduced on over 40 billboards on the East Coast for a bank conglomerate. 

In 1988, he was flown to England as a winner in the Kodak/BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition for an image of a moose drinking. The print was exhibited in the London Museum of Natural History and the Ottawa Museum in Canada. One of his images has also been exhibited in the prestigious Carnegie Museum of Natural History.

Another image, of an oiled bird from the Exxon Valdez spill, was honored at the Los Angeles Directors' Guild in Hollywood, in 1993. Recently one of his prints of Alaska was given by local officials to the Premier of China during his visit to Alaska. The print is currently hanging in the Royal Residence in China. His images have also been used by software development companies, as well as in CD ROMs and other products in the computer industry.

Levy particularly likes to shoot compelling or unique interactions between people, people and animals, or society and the world.

Whether shooting for stock sales or on assignment, the emotion, in whatever intensity the subject is feeling, is what he's after. It can be shown in the subject's face, body gesture or overall scene, like the shot of lava falling practically on top of hikers at Pacaya Volcano in Guatemala. The image ran full page in National Wildlife's Best of Nature in 1996. 

Conversely, the more subdued but universal feeling of commitment and responsibility is shown in the scene of a mother and father feeding their quadruplets--part of a series of images produced for McCall's magazine in 1995. 

"In many ways, the challenge is the same whether you shoot people or animals. You need to find a common denominator to connect with them so that they can relax. We all have our thresholds, our own space and comfort zones; by respecting those areas, you can come away with some moving images. 

"The desire for companionship, whether with people, plants or animals, is universal in this world, and I'm always looking for insights into our deepest feelings."

Ron's image library consists of over 60,000 photographs available directly from him or through several stock agents in the U.S., Germany, France, India, Spain and other countries. Go here for a complete, searchable list of all subjects and images available for immediate purchase.
