″I have an entire closet for polar wear, and another wardrobe just for my tropical outfits,” says Cindy Miller Hopkins, a travel and wildlife photographer who lists her address as Colorado Springs, Colorado – even if she only spends about five or six weeks of the year there.

The rest of the time she’s roaming the world. Leading photo safaris, teaching digital photography, working as a guest lecturer on expedition cruise ships. Capturing images with her Nikon that have so far graced thousands of publications from textbooks to calendars to fine-art prints. She has photographed zebras in Zambia. Whirling dervishes in Turkey. The cliffs of Western Australia’s Kimberley coast as viewed from the Indian Ocean.
