About Us

By Nasim Mansurov

Photography Life is represented by a dedicated and talented team of individuals with professional working experience in photography. The core team consists of the following four photographers.

Nasim Mansurov

Nasim Mansurov is the founder of Photography Life. While he spent the majority of his adult life pursuing technology, he discovered photography as his true passion after the birth of his first child. Not happy with pictures from a point and shoot camera, Nasim decided to purchase a Nikon DSLR to preserve memories of his family and that’s what started his journey into the world of digital photography. Today, Nasim is recognized as one of the leading educators in photography, conducting workshops, producing educational videos, and writing content for Photography Life. Nasim is married to Lola, his partner in life and the photography world. When not doing photography, he enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, reading books and kicking paddles (being a black belt in Taekwondo). Nasim is on Instagram, 500px and Facebook.


Spencer Cox Photography

Spencer Cox is the Editor in Chief of Photography Life. His work has been shown in the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History for the Nature’s Best Photography exhibition, and additional photographs of his were exhibited in galleries in London, Malta, Beijing, Siena, and other cities around the world. His images have been recognized in the prestigious Travel Photographer of the Year and Natural Landscape Photography Awards. Spencer takes a slow and deliberate approach to composition and prefers working with large format film, developing and making prints in his home darkroom. You can view more of Spencer’s work on his website or follow him on Instagram.


libor_edited_about

Libor Vaicenbacher is a full-time writer at Photography Life from the Czech Republic. He has also worked as a biology teacher, guide, photographer and photography course lecturer. His passion is birds. As an ornithologist, Libor has studied the avian diversity of the South American Andes. He fell in love with this part of the world, and since then, he likes to return with his camera to popularize South American nature with his photographs, talks, and articles. You can see more of Libor’s work on his Instagram page.


jpolak_about

Jason Polak is a bird and wildlife photographer from Ottawa, Canada. He has been interested in photography ever since he received a disposable film camera as a small child. His career as a mathematician led him to move to Australia in 2016, where he started seeing colorful parrots. A few casual shots with a lens completely unsuitable for birds got him hooked, and now wildlife photography is his biggest passion. Jason loves to show the beauty of animals to the world through photography, and one of his lifelong goals is to photograph five thousand species of birds. You can see more of Jason’s work on his website or on his YouTube channel.


Our skilled team of freelance writers includes Adam Sheridan, Massimo Vignoli, Meg Faehl, Hallie Cowan Barrera, Elaine Lansdown, Nicholas Hess, Elizabeth Gray, and many others.

Thank you for visiting our site! Photography Life is proud to be one of the few remaining websites run entirely by a group of professional photographers. We hope it shines through in our work.
