Photographer Chip Ward captures the beauty of our natural world, as he travels the globe as the photographer for the Equitrekking travel television series on PBS. Ward's photographs have been published in various magazines, including Ralph Lauren, Practical Horseman and True West, and are the centerpiece of the Equitrekking Travel Adventures on Horseback coffee table book published by Chronicle Books.

Ward comes from a family of artists and photographers who worked for publishing industry magnates including TIME magazine.

Growing up in Connecticut, photography was always a hobby for Ward, who focused on winter landscapes and later wildlife, horses and natural scenery. Ward left a corporate consulting job to peruse his passion for photography and executive produce the Equitrekking series.

Recent expeditions have taken Ward to Costa Rica, Arizona, Uruguay, Ireland, Hawaii and Turkey, where Ward says the diversity of cultures and history is most intriguing. Ward enjoys discovering remote and lesser-trafficked areas of the globe and showcasing the beauty of the environment and wildlife through his colorful photographs.
