Jonathan Long, born and raised in Eastern Idaho, returned to the area following his graduate studies to pursue his fine art photography. Introduced to the outdoors at a young age was where his deep love and respect for the environment started.  Surrounded by the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, Jonathan lives in an area where he is able to point his camera towards many of the issues that currently face the West. These include land development, water allocation, ecosystem fragmentation and loss open space. Some of his recent work address these environmental issues and the affect politics have on the landscape. Jonathan hopes that through his imagery viewers will take interest in his subjects and develop a respect for the environment.
