Marina Pierce is a retired Air Force officer turned award winning nature photographer and author. Living on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay with her husband, Erik, and her photo buddy, Finley, has spawned her love of photography. Capturing the unique animals and habitats of this region and beyond is now her passion and her business - Photo by the Bay.
She uses her photography to educate people in hopes of inspiring them to conserve this very special place for generations to come. Students in her phone photography and nature photography classes walk away with not only a better understanding of photography, but a better understanding of the world around them and how to use the camera to tell those stories.
This is Marina’s second book. Photo by the Bay, Volume I, Two Years on the Eastern Shore, contains 250 images from her first two years in Cape Charles. Her new book, Photo by the Bay, Volume II, Today's Glimmer, goes beyond just the Eastern Shore to focus on images from as far away as the Galápagos Islands that evoke positive emotions to brighten your day. Her works are part photography, part education and all inspiration.
