Kendall Pruett is an photographer and visual storyteller from Abilene, Texas. His interest in wildlife dated back to the days of his early childhood, watching Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom. Ken also developed an early interest in art where the majority of his drawings and paintings featured wildlife subjects and won numerous art and conservation competitions during his childhood years.  His love of the American West began in his early childhood as well.

Ken first entered college as a wildlife biology major. With the job market being pretty grim at the time for wildlife biologist, he eventually changed majors and graduated with a degree in geology. It was during this time in college that he acquired is first film SLR camera to carry on various geology field trips, shooting predominately slide film. Upon graduation he continued to carry a camera with him in the field as a working geologist, taking advantage of his spare time to head off down the many back roads in search of wildlife and super cell thunderstorms to photograph across the plains of Texas.
