Northwest Whale Photography
Photography by Jami Nagel
Naturalist Jami Nagel has had an avid love for animals her whole life.
When she was 5 her parents took her to Sea world where she saw
her first orca (Shamu). That planted a seed that would later lead
her to pursue a degree in marine biology from Western Washington
University in her late 20's. She was then fortunate to find herself
with the family at Island Adventures, where she gets to spend her
days amongst the southern resident orcas (J,K and L pods) and all
the wonderful wildlife and beauty the San Juan Archipelago has to
offer.
Jami's need to capture every aspect of these animals has lead her to
another passion in photography. It is rare to see her without her
camera near. She has taken hundreds of pictures of the southern
residents, gray whales, humpbacks, minke whales, numerous bald
eagles and other seabirds.
