The New Nature Photography: Trends and Ideas for the Future of Nature Photography

As the era of magazines and calendars fades, so too must our long-held assumptions about what wildlife and nature photography should look like. The punchy colors, tight crops, and action-packed compositions that once defined success were designed for a different time — and a different medium.

In today’s world, photography is increasingly being consumed in homes, offices, and public spaces as wall art. Yet much of what we create is still rooted in styles suited to editorial layouts rather than interior aesthetics. In this transformative session, Lisa Langell invites you to challenge the traditional norms and explore a refreshing visual shift in how we photograph wildlife and nature.

Through compelling examples and thoughtful design insight, you’ll learn how to approach wildlife and nature photography with updated visual concepts and interior design in mind. Discover the power of high-key and low-key styles, minimalism, soft palettes, and intentional use of space. Learn how techniques once scoffed—such as leaving your subject smaller in the frame can actually create a more emotionally resonant and visually balanced piece for display. This is not about marketing or sales—it’s about aligning your creative vision with how today’s audiences want to live with photography.

Whether you're a hobbyist or a pro, this session will expand your creative mindset and inspire you to craft images that are not just beautiful — but livable.
