June Meeting with Scott Dere – Photography in the Wild

Join us for our next meeting on Wednesday, June 19th with guest speaker, Scott Dere “Photography in the Wild – Photographing Animals in Their Natural Habitat.”

Scott Joshua Dere began photography with his own darkroom at age 5, worked professionally at 13 for commercial and private studios in NY, and opened his
own studio at age 25. He has earned national recognition as being a true naturalist and
talented photographer, and his passion and enthusiasm sets Scott from all other
photographers. He is the recipient of both his Master of Photography and Master
Craftsman degrees. His new fine art company, “The Elements of Nature”, is
dedicated to intwining the elements of Environment, Weather, Lighting, Action
and Impact to create artistic photographs of wild animals in some of the most scenic,
rare locations on Earth.
