About Jeff Augustine<\/b>

Jeff Augustine is a Colorado-based wildlife and nature photographer and the founder of Among the Wild Photography<\/b>. Based in Arvada, Colorado, Jeff has developed a deep appreciation for the beauty, detail, and wonder found in the natural world\u2014from birds and wildlife to insects, landscapes, and the quiet moments that often go unnoticed.

Photography has become a way for Jeff to slow down, observe creation more closely, and capture moments that reveal both the beauty and personality of the wild. Whether photographing a hummingbird suspended in flight, the intricate details of an insect, or wildlife against the Colorado landscape, his goal is to create images that invite others to stop, look closer, and experience a sense of wonder.

Jeff also brings more than 30 years of experience in pastoral ministry and theological education. He holds a Master of Arts in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary and has taught theology, biblical studies, and church history at Colorado Christian University, Urbana Theological Seminary, and international Bible institutes. His years of teaching, ministry, and faith have deeply influenced the way he sees the natural world\u2014as something worth noticing, appreciating, and preserving.

Through Among the Wild Photography<\/b>, Jeff hopes to share not simply photographs, but encounters with the extraordinary beauty found all around us.

Jeff lives in Arvada, Colorado, with his wife and family.

Job 12:7-10<\/b> - \u201cBut ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.\"

Psalm 19:1-2<\/b> - \"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.\"<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
