Travis was born and raised deep in the piney woods of East Texas. Although he is now based in Austin, TX, his passions for traveling the world, photographing the wild earth, & serving those in need have taken him on adventures from everywhere within the Lone Star State to the jungles and mountains of Mexico, to the highland deserts and mountains of Central & South America, and to the vast beauty of sub-saharan Africa. He is an obsessive climber, paddler, runner and (sometimes) yogi. Travis' life is a complex yet simple balance of hard work, intentional rest, and abundant joy. He finds that these three converge best when seeking adventure in wild places and capturing those moments in photographic splendor. See more at @travperk_photo and www.travisperkinsphoto.com
