Have you been wondering how to level up your photography skills for the reptiles and amphibians you encounter in the wild or the ones you care for at home? If so, this is the meeting for you!
Join wildlife filmmaker, conservationist, and herpetologist Jacob Jackson of Herp Hero for a presentation focused on photographing reptiles and amphibians in both captive and wild settings. The talk will cover camera gear, field techniques, lighting, ethical wildlife photography practices, and how storytelling through imagery can help inspire conservation. Jacob will also share behind the scenes experiences from documenting herpetofauna, conservation projects, and environmental fieldwork across the U.S. and abroad.
