Getting started with the technical aspects of underwater photography!

Hi all, Brooke McDonough (@bmcdonough) and I are offering our online workshop, Starting a Career in Conservation and Science Photography, with Summit Workshops in March/April! The workshop is best suited to those who are early in their career as a conservation/science photographer. Instead of covering the technical aspects of photography, we focus on other aspects of this career: building relationships with subjects and editors, grant and application writing, setting goals, setting rates, early career opportunities, etc. More info at the link above. Feel free to ask any questions here, and/or share with anyone who may be interested!

Hello! I’m an Emerging League member of the iLCP based in Ottawa, Canada. My storytelling work focuses mainly on wildlife science, informed by my background as a biologist. For the past few years I’ve been based at the Algonquin Wildlife Research Station where I’ve been working on various stories about the value of long-term wildlife studies. My storytelling work moving forward will continue to focus on the conservation of Ontario’s freshwater turtles. As such, I’ve been working on expanding my skills to include underwater photography. Happy to connect with folks on various topics...especially those who can help with my expansion into the aquatic realm! Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/samanthastephens_/
