Based in the beautiful landscapes of Virginia, I’m Tommy “Dayone” Russell Jr, a passionate nature photographer specializing in the intricate worlds of flora and fauna through macro photography, breathtaking landscapes, and intimate nature portraits. My love for the outdoors is deeply intertwined with my life as a devoted family man, blessed with a wonderful wife and three amazing kids.

I find joy in sharing my adventures with my wife and three kids. Together, we explore the wonders of nature, whether it’s tending to our garden or embarking on hikes through the breathtaking Virginia wilderness. My journey into gardening has sparked a deeper connection to the land, inspiring me to embrace homesteading and live in tune with nature.

Beyond photography, I have a love for cinematography and storytelling, capturing the essence of each moment. I cherish the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals during my travels, learning from their experiences and sharing in their appreciation for the natural world.

Join me as I seek to inspire others through my lens, celebrating the beauty of nature and the stories it holds. Together, let’s embark on an exploration of our environment, one captivating image at a time.
