David Sleeper, former editor and publisher of Vermont Magazine, says:
"Gustav W. Verderber is one of the few professional photographers with whom I've worked who can write as well as he can photograph. Although he claims his strength is in making images with a camera, I would argue that he does as well creating images with words. He has done first-rate articles for Vermont Magazine on color, nature photography, and terns and even took on a decidedly unnatural topic when he wrote about the air national guard for us. I highly recommend Gustav's work -- both words and photographs -- and I look forward to working with him in the future."
I photograph a wide range of subjects, from starfish to F16's. My stock files include the landscapes and wildlife of the Northern Forest, the Atlantic Coast, Central America, Alaska, Yellowstone National Park, and the Canadian Maritimes. I will accept assignments on most any subject, anywhere, anytime. I am in excellent physical condition and can work in challenging situations and inhospitable environments.
In 2003, I was appointed the Kodak Ambassador in Yellowstone National Park. Having never been to Yellowstone, I produced a portfolio of images covering nearly every major subject in the park. I am currently working on a guide to photographing Yellowstone.
Ethical Note: I am an environmental interpreter, that is, I strive to promote the intrinsic value of the natural world through accurate and honest photography and writing. Toward that end, I avoid images of captive wildlife and refrain from digitally manipulating my images to such an extent that they do not represent what I actually witnessed in the field.
