Join us as we welcome guest speaker Jennifer Renwick.

Jennifer will share and discuss what slow photography is and how practicing slow photography has helped her create more impactful and fulfilling nature photography. She will share her insights using examples from her journeys through the landscape and discuss how to create more meaningful imagery that connects with the viewer. She will introduce the process of slow photography, discuss expressive photography, storytelling, and how to curate photo projects to tell a complete story.

From Jennifer’s website:

“My love affair and fascination with nature started at a very young age, and it was during this time, I developed an innate curiosity with the natural world around me. I usually had my nose buried in books about the ocean, rocks, or animals growing up, eager to learn anything I could. Before diving into the world of nature photography, I received my degree in Geology and then continued on to work in Veterinary Medicine for 14 years. During my college years studying geology, I was introduced to the American West and its mountains and immediately fell in love. Every chance I could conceive I traveled west and picked up a camera along the way to capture the rugged landscapes to share with others and admire from my home in the Midwest. After some soul searching, I took the plunge into full-time photography three years ago and moved out west. I haven't looked back since, now enjoying my new creative freedoms with a camera in hand.”

“I am now based in Colorado but travel full-time in a travel trailer with my partner David Kingham teaching photography workshops, exploring and photographing the American West. I extend my photography passion to my students by helping them to become visual storytellers by expressing themselves through their imagery and teaching them how to connect with their subjects from behind their lenses.”

“While I enjoy photographing landscapes, my real passion is focusing on the smaller details in those landscapes. Every grand landscape has many stories and nuances that make up the larger picture, and each of these deserves their moment to shine. I enjoy practicing slow photography and being a visual storyteller. Whether I'm photographing dolphins in the ocean or positioned over a natural abstract in the desert, my goal is the same. I strive to make compelling photos that not only trigger emotions and feelings but, more importantly, help bring awareness to the inspiring but delicate natural world we live in.”
