Published internationally and statewide Mac has
entered the photography world with an unyielding energy
and charisma.  His subjects range anywhere from volatile
riots to delicate dew drops suspended on spiders’ webs.
            A proud graduate of Virginia Tech majoring in
environmental affairs, Spanish, international politics, and
a concentration in biology, Mac fuses his artistic eye with
a world view and a naturalist’s instinct. 
            Although deeply moved and inspired by the many
wonders surrounding his home in Gainesville, Florida, Mac
has set his focus and efforts in Latin America.  Giving
imagery to the magical realism of daily life in the tropics
has become his passion and life for the last two years.
            An avid traveler, Mac uses his camera to capture the
daily miracles found in both natural and cultural settings,
unveiling devout intimacy and candor. 
            In stewardship and responsibility, Mac has also used his photography to promote environmental awareness.  In Florida he has worked with the TREEO center and Alachua County Forever Fund in promoting ecosystem management.  Internationally his photography has brought him to work for Wildlife Conservation Service (WCS) in the rainforests of Ecuador and then to Honduras teaching environmental science and nature photography to local children along the watershed of Pico Bonito National Park. 
            There is little that obstructs Mac while on assignment.  Whether surrounded by shotgun explosions of tear gas, amongst territorial alligators, or gripping vertical cliff edges, dedicated to the image, Mac will capture the moment.   
            Mac Stone is an adventure-seeking, bull-running, traveling photographer.  Above all, however, he simply celebrates with utmost intensity the vivacity and wonderment of our living world.
