Mike MacDonald (born 1960) is an American photographer, photojournalist, speaker, author and conservationist.[1] MacDonald's photos, primarily featuring prairies, savannas and other natural habitats around the Chicago metropolitan area, are internationally published. MacDonald's photographic technique blends concepts from landscape and macro photography to create a three-dimensional, immersive effect in his work.[2][3][4] In 2015, MacDonald authored the coffee-table book My Journey into the Wilds of Chicago.[5][6]
MacDonald's work primarily focuses on the natural habitats of the Chicago area. In 2015, MacDonald authored the coffee-table book My Journey into the Wilds of Chicago: A Celebration of Chicagoland's Startling Natural Wonders, a collection built over two decades of more than 200 photographs and 30 profiles of Chicago area prairies, savannas, beaches and forests.[7] Publishers Weekly called the book "celebratory, soulful and poetic," and its photos "glorious."[6]
