Welcome to RESCUED IN LA
Unique Marine Wildlife Photography
Over the past two decades I have been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to conduct thousands of marine animal rescues. From whales entangled in fishing nets to stranded dolphins, seals and sea lions along with many different species of sea birds. These encounters have inspired and motivated me to continue my rescue efforts with as much passion as when I started. Now I want to share some of my experiences by showing some of the faces of the marine animals I’ve encountered.
RESCUED IN LA, Unique Marine Wildlife Photography offers compelling and artistic photographs of injured, sick or orphaned marine animals in their natural environment, moments before they are rescued.
These select prints of harbor seals, sea lions, elephant seals, pelicans and cormorants have all been photographed and rescued on the beaches of Los Angeles County. None of the photo’s selected will shock you or force you to turn your head away. I have purposely left those photo’s for a different venue.
It’s important for me to express that I have never have taken a photograph if there was the slightest chance of missing the chance to rescue an animal. The animal’s welfare always comes first.
Please, if you encounter a marine mammal on the shoreline, give them some space. My two decades of experience allows me to get close enough to take a photograph, make an evaluation and conduct a rescue if necessary. But, even with all of that experience I can never let my guard down or I’ll be injured.
Thank you,
Peter Wallerstein
