Creator's Key Takeaways

Puffins are one of the most charismatic animals there is on the planet.

And here in Iceland, it's such a wonderful opportunity to be able to see puffins up close and photograph them.

When I'm photographing puffins, I try to get as much diversity in behavior as I can from courtship right on through to them feeding their chicks.
