HELLO!
Welcome to NateCollinsPhoto.com. I specialize in gallery-quality photo prints, as well as image licensing, featuring a wide range of ocean life and coastal wildlife around San Diego.
Browse the shop to explore the beauty of some of my favorite local animals, including Dolphins, Seals, Sea Lions, Whales, and a variety of Shorebirds. I hope these photos will similarly inspire in you the peace and wonder I feel while observing these incredible animals.

New! – Limited Edition Prints
Check out our newly released collection of limited edition prints! Only 10 of each are available, so they’ll go quick.
These are a few photos that really spoke to me, in particular the one featuring a rehabbed sea lion named Pikitis leaping at first light in La Jolla Cove. Whenever I spot tagged animals, I make sure to share any photos with local rehab facilities and wildlife advocacy groups for tracking. I’m often lucky enough to hear the stories behind these animals, such as when, where, and why they were rescued. Those involved in the efforts are always happy to see them thriving.

About Me
Hi, I’m Nate, a San Diego wildlife photographer. I began this project rehabilitating from a serious mountain bike accident. Morning walks to the beach with my camera were a way to get moving again.
My career included photographing action sports and marketing high-end mountain bikes. In my mid 20’s and early 30’s I also worked with a range of print shops. Combining these skillsets Nate Collins Photo was born.
Photographing fast-moving sports translated naturally to capturing great moments with wildlife. Experience in large format printing meant I knew details to ensure the best production having a professional quality printer in-house (allowing me the most demanding Print on Demand!).
Most photos are shot within a few miles of my home, although others originate from areas I frequent. My prints feature a variety of shorebirds and marine mammals I enjoy along our beaches, inlets, rivers and bays. I enjoy sharing the beauty of “everyday” moments along the water with details viewers may otherwise miss.
