In this webinar, Mary Anne will talk about her experiences photographing the birds of Great Salt Lake and learning how to craft images that spark interest, build empathy, and help drive change.
Mary Anne is a wildlife photographer from Salt Lake City, Utah, exploring how to use the tools of art and photography to benefit wildlife and wild places. Her current project focuses on the rapidly disappearing Great Salt Lake, the largest saline lake in North America and a lynchpin habitat for ten million migratory birds. Her work juxtaposes the vibrant bird life of Great Salt Lake with its otherworldly landscapes.
Agreed - quite enjoyable. Mary Anne has a good relaxed style and a concise platform manner so is easy to watch and follow. Oh and yeah, she takes some ok photos. My take away is to go even lower than I do when photographing birds. My camera is on the ground a lot anyway, so what the heck.
Really great presentation. I’ve been a fan of Mary Anne’s photos on instagram and loved learning about her approach to photography, art, storytelling, and conservation. PS that Venn diagram is not bad at all, I really enjoyed that framing of what photographs can convey.
Just watched the presentation, and it is great. Lots of useful information and wonderful images. Very inspirational. Didn’t see anything like this in a long time.
Wonderful presentation, Mary. I appreciated all of the information about the Great Salt Lake. I must admit I have been by it several times, but had no idea of the history/background and plight. Really great information. Also love your photos and your insights on perspective angles. Nicely done.
Thank you for a very thorough and thought provoking presentation. 20+ years ago I had the pleasure of spending time in this area working on a project for Rio Tinto at the Garfield Smelter and would spend time just wandering along the lake and looking at all the wildlife that inhabits the area around the lake and the mountains. I did not take many images during that time, your presentation has inspired me with the idea of returning and trying to take some photos. Thank you so much for your insight and suggestions.
