An amateur photographer since age 13, Ross has been photographing outdoor subjects for eighteen years. . His travels to Alaska and Florida took him to many of the most beautiful parts of North America. Ross became "hooked" on trying to capture on film the feeling of what it's like to be in such places.
"I came up with the name 'Good Migrations' largely because of my love of birds and bird migration, and also because of my own work; for a period of about 2 1/2 years, I was working seasonally in Alaska during the summer and in Florida during the winter. The lifestyle became seductive: you're outdoors in the field every day, surrounded by incredible beauty and often incredible wildlife. I also love the people associated with the Parks. They are some of the most dedicated, knowledgeable, and interesting people around. I have always had a passionate interest in conservation and wilderness preservation and enjoy combining my work with these efforts."
In 1997 Ross turned semi-pro as a photographer. "I realized the challenge I was undertaking by trying to make it in the nature photography business. One doesn’t acquire a whole lot of capital as a seasonal park ranger to get started. But I’m determined, and if it takes me until I’m 60, I’ll still be happy. It’s difficult to imagine doing anything more exhilarating."
Ross is an avid birder with a North American life list of 492 species. Ross graduated summa cum laude in Natural Resources from the University of Maine, is an Appalachian Trail 2,000-miler, and has worked for a long list of conservation organizations and agencies that includes The Nature Conservancy, Appalachian Mountain Club, Cooperative Extension Service, USDA Soil Conservation Service, Olympic National Park, Everglades National Park, and Washington State Parks. In addition, Ross has made TEN coast-to-coast trips across North America, spending scores of days and nights in America's National Parks and National Forests. At 31, Ross markets Good Migrations Prints on the web, in galleries, and in art shows. He also markets his images as stock and has been published by Maine Scene, The Nature Conservancy, The Viesti Associates, Orvis, and the National Wildlife Federation. His image "Grand Prairie" has won first prize in the International Library of Photography 1999 photo contest. Ross's long-term career vision? To become a National Geographic contract photographer.
