About Christopher Forslund

I’m Christopher Forslund, a full-time RV nomad and a wildlife and landscape photographer who spends as much time as possible chasing light, quiet mornings, and the beauty of the natural world.

I grew up in the coastal mountains of Northern California, where my love for nature and photography really took root. From my early days in the Boy Scouts to a 17-year career in law enforcement, with a chapter as a touring musician in between, I’ve been lucky to travel across the country for most of my life. No matter where I was, I always had a camera close by.

These days, my photography leans heavily toward birds and wildlife. There’s something about their presence, their behavior, and the way a moment can come and go in an instant that pulls me in every time. I’m always looking for the right light, the right angle, and the subtle details that turn a simple encounter into an image you can feel.

For me, it’s never just about technical perfection. It’s about emotion, using the available light, color, and atmosphere to convey the feeling I had when the shutter clicked. When everything comes together, an image can say more than words ever could, and that’s what I chase every time I pick up my camera.

My wife, Tangee, and I travel full time in our RV, exploring the backroads of this incredible country. I’m rarely in one place for long, there’s always another sunrise, another bird encounter, another stretch of road that might hold something unforgettable. It’s a lifestyle that blends my love of photography with our love of travel, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
