Hey there! My name is Maceo Susi, and I am a wildlife photographer, filmmaker, biologist, and steward of the environment.
Starting at a young age, I was frequently lost in animal films and encyclopedias, spending most of my days soaking information into my little brain.
Growing up in Massachusetts, I had access to a lot of nature, from rocky intertidal zones to ponds and forests full of animals. I found myself out in nature often, searching for as many animals as I could find.
In my early teens, I grew more and more involved with the environment and nature through field work. As the quarantining of 2020 set in, I began running my own data collection operation to continue marine invasive species abundance surveys utilized by Coastal Zone Management.
My passion for wildlife photography was ignited during this quarantine through an encounter with snakes, where I took a few photos as I was observing them close up.
I was blown away by the beauty in their details, and quickly the beauty in many animals local to my area. This is how I became the person I am today.
Ecological Work
I do conservation work as my work, currently specializing with many animals from Atlantic puffins to meadow ecology.
Data Collection
Similarly to ecological work, I conduct and participate in data collection for a variety of different ecosystems and species, from marine invertebrates to seabirds.
Wildlife Photography
One of my main hobbies is wildlife photography. My aim is to inspire people to be environmental stewards.
