Wildlife photographer C.C. Lockwood has lived and worked in
fragile ecosystems whose preservation shapes his artistry.
Through words and images, he has captured the unique sense
of space in wild places as diverse as Louisiana swampland
and the rugged backcountry of the American West. His work
has earned him international acclaim as an environmental
artist, including the Sierra Club’s Ansel Adams Award for
conservation photography. Lockwood’s work continues to
reflect changes and perils in the natural world. His
eleventh book, Marsh Mission, is part of a years-long effort
by Lockwood to bring attention to the crisis of vanishing
Gulf Coast wetlands. His newest book, to be published in
fall 2007, will revisit the Atchafalaya Basin, which he
first explored nearly 40 years ago.

PERSONAL HISTORY
C.C. Lockwood was born in
Kansas City, Missouri, in 1949 and grew up in Fort Smith,
Arkansas, where he graduated from Southside High School. He
moved to Louisiana in 1967 to attend Louisiana State
University, where he received his B.S. in finance in 1971.
During his early years in Louisiana he fell in love with the
state’s swampy backcountry, and he abandoned plans for a
career in business as soon as he graduated. He taught
himself photography and headed for wild places, determined
to make a living capturing images of nature.
He has been
married to Sue Richardson since 1996.
