Eiko Jones While growing up in New Zealand, Eiko acquired his first SLR camera at the age of fourteen. He quickly discovered his passion for capturing images of animals, especially birds, in their natural habitat. During extensive trips along the West Coast of British Columbia and Alaska in the early 1990's his focus shifted to coastal landscapes above and below the waterline.
Whether exploring the ocean or alternate bodies of water, such as marshes and rivers, Eiko has developed a dramatic style in which he celebrates the corners of our world which are seldom seen. He captures the surreal through constant awareness of lighting and unique angles. He has won awards and has been published in numerous international magazines, including National Geographic, British Columbia Magazine, Diver, People!, Submerge, Ducks Unlimited, and Orion to name a few.
His Fine Art Photography has also been sold around the world. Recently he has had an image accepted into the National Geographic Fine Art Galleries and also into the Nat Geo 50 best Landscapes exhibition. He has exihibited locally and at the Grants Pass Museum of Art in Oregon.
While a big part of his work focuses on Salmon and local watershed issues, other underwater and topside subjects round out his collection.
