Laverton, Photographer of the Geoduck

Jeff Laverton is a semi-professional photographer living in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. He studied photography in Vancouver Community Colleges and Vancouver's Focal Point Studios.

Surrounded by the wilderness of the Pacific North West, he seeks to capture the grace and beauty of nature in all its forms, drawn by the study of light, lines, patterns, textures and colour.

His passion for photography is equaled by his passion for his natural environment and the wildlife that inhabit it. He strives to capture images that reflect his great respect and love of the outdoors with a focus on an outstanding quality of light and composition.

He has more photos posted online. (Opens in a new window)

Photos of Geoduck

  • I couldn't use my favourite photo of geoduck in the book because it was not a BC geoduck. It is a geoduck from Washington state, right next door. It's so good, I just have to share it with you. Click the link to see Rachel with a geoduck (Opens in a new window.) From there you can click on other photos Rachel's family has posted online. They love nature and enjoy sharing their photos.
