Speaker: John Scalera
This zoo photography lecture will give an
in-depth overview of the workflow, composition, lighting, equipment,
settings, techniques and tips that are utilized to capture intimate
portraits of these animals. Each image will be analyzed and how it
was created. Post processing techniques will also be examined
Biography
John Scalera is an award winning
photographer who specializes in zoo photography hailing from the
hills of Northern New Jersey. His fascination and passion for
animals began at a very early age and continues today through his
work. His viewers experience a very deep and personal relationship
with the subjects he photographs. The beauty and expression of each
animal is effortlessly expressed in each photograph.
Artist Statement
Wildlife and Nature have always been an
integral part of my life. The World is such a magical and
extraordinary place, a sanctuary for life from the smallest insects
to the giants who cruise the deepest oceans. A powerful, oftentimes
inexplicable bond has been forged between all living beings, and
when I observe it through my camera lens, it brings me an
unparalleled sense of awe: The stoic poise of a lioness relaxing in
the sun in the late afternoon, the intensity of a jaguar's stare, or
the mischievous play of lowland gorillas. It's my hope that my
photography captures the majesty of those intimate moments that I am
fortunate to bear witness.

The GOAT of Sports Photography Captures the
Greatest Athletes

Former
member Robb Shaffer had this to say: “It's
a fascinating look at what makes a great sports photographer (or any
great photographer) tick. Walter Iooss is an unpretentious person
but one who (it seems) is confident about his abilities. His
backstories to how he got the great pictures is really interesting
and, at times, funny. It was on CBS but it is an ESPN production.”
Member Dave
Warren said, “The
series is about sports photographer Walter Iooss (https://www.walteriooss.com/)
and his nearly 60 years of iconic sports images, his relationship
with the sports icons, and many stories about how he got the shots.”
