About Ray Sheffer
​
I am a self-taught photographer and I been doing photography since 2010. I am currently living in San Juan County, Washington State. I was born in Las Vegas, Nevada, and lived there for eleven years before my parents and I moved to Washington in 2003. I have always enjoyed looking at photographs, especially wildlife photography. I didn't start taking photos tell the summer going into my senior year in high school. As time progressed, I started to take photography seriously, I decided I wanted to make a living from it. So, after graduation, I contacted the local newspaper to see if they wanted a correspondent photographer, and after they viewed my work. I started out shooting high school sports for the newspaper. Working there for a while, they helped me get a scholarship that covered one online class at Skagit Valley College. That online class and the photography class I took in high school, were the only ones I took. The rest I learned on my own. Now, I am photographing wildlife, landscapes, and people.
