Stop Being a 1-Dimensional Photographer! Embrace the Personal Project to Bring Nuance, Meaning, and Expression to Your Photography
Speaker Introduction: Allan Henry - Atlas Packs

Abstract: We're all guilty of it: going to a beautiful place with the sole intention of photographing the most banging banger that ever banged. But the sin committed here is that photographing this way reduces our complex planet to a string of one-dimensional trophy shots. It's a cartoonishly-simply way of looking at the world. Much like saying "the reason I love my spouse is because she has beautiful hair." But of course, the landscapes -and people- we love are endlessly nuanced and layered. And if we truly want to capture their spirit we can't simply traipse from location to location, shooting a series of one-off shots. Nay! We must dig deeper, peel back the onion layers, and photograph all the facets of the places we find special. In this no-BS talk, Joshua Cripps will teach you the power of personal photo projects for creating stunning diversity and depth in your portfolio. You will learn the specific parts every photo project needs to tell a complete story, as well as how a multi-layered approach to photographing your favorite places will help you find your artistic vision, express what's important to you, and reach an audience whose passion matches yours.

Bio:  Josh Cripps is a wilderness landscape photographer living in beautiful Mammoth Lakes, California. He shoots campaigns and gives presentations for Nikon, and his work has been featured in publications like Outdoor Photographer, Pop Photo, and Landscape Photography Magazine.
Josh also runs photography workshops in the US and New Zealand, teaches online courses, and runs a popular landscape photography, adventure, and travel YouTube channel.

Why Photography? How to Prevent Photographer Burnout
Speaker Introduction: Allan Henry - Atlas Packs

Abstract: Most photographers know what kind of camera they have and how to use it, but that is only half the equation. After 30+ years in the photo business Jens has watched photographers come and go. Continuing to capture photos really comes down to having a purpose, also known as the “why" of Photography. In this presentation you will gain an appreciation for one of the most important inventions of the 19th Century, whether you are using it as an art, medium or craft. You will walk away inspired to get outside and capture the world in a new and meaningful way.

Bio - Jens Nielsen:
At the young age of 20, Jens immigrated to the United States from Denmark and was sponsored by a local photographer and business owner who introduced him to the world of photography. Two years later, Jens opened Pictureline Inc., a camera store in Salt Lake City that is still growing after 33 years of business.
Much of Pictureline's success is due to Jens's ability to adapt to the constantly changing photography industry. He began by first accommodating the professional film photographers, but he has kept up well with the fast-paced digital scene that now includes video and motion picture. He has sat on and been part of multiple industry Boards and Councils over the years as well.

Even with an ever-evolving business, Jens still keeps his customers at heart of his work. His face lights up when he can teach others about photography and help customers find exactly what they need. He often takes time out of his busy schedule to greet long-time customers as well as assist new clients. Jens's passion for photography can be seen in his desire to expand the knowledge of all photographers, whether they are amateurs or professionals. Besides teaching Pictureline’s popular "More to Photography" class series, he has also taught nationally and internationally at various seminars focused on inspiring attendees with "What Makes a Photographer". He is widely known for hosting lectures, events, and workshops from many well-known photographers at the Pictureline store in downtown Salt Lake City. With 33 years of experience owning and running one of the most successful camera stores in the United States, Jens has a fundamental understanding of what makes the photography industry function at the highest level.

Integrating Time: Harnessing the Power of Shutter Speed
Speaker Introduction: Allan Henry - Atlas Packs 

Title:  Integrating Time: Harnessing the Power of Shutter Speed

Abstract:  As photographers, we capture moments of time. How long our shutter stays open says a lot about the resultant photograph and the mood and dynamism it conveys. In this presentation, David Swindler will discuss new ways to think about shutter speed and how to use it effectively in a variety of situations. He will cover not only technical aspects but also how to employ shutter speed from a creative standpoint. From very long exposures to nearly instantaneous captures with a strobe, David will make it easy to understand how to optimize your shutter speed in the field.

Bio: David Swindler is an award-winning landscape and wildlife photographer. Among others, he has been recognized by Sony World Photography Awards, International Landscape Photographer of the Year, and National Geographic. He received a degree in chemical engineering and worked in the semiconductor industry specializing in optics and photolithography. In 2014, he left his day job to follow his true passion when he started Action Photo Tours (www.ActionPhotoTours.com). He has traveled to some of the most remote regions of the world and has extensive experience photographing a wide variety of subjects and conditions. He finds great satisfaction in helping others learn photography, especially in the wild desert environment near his home in Kanab, UT.

Improving Our Vision in Black and White Photography
Speaker Introduction: Graham Clark - Breakthrough Photography

Abstract: Black and white photography has a timeless appeal, and in many cases, it can touch viewers in a more profound way. Some landscape photographers may find it difficult to work without color. In this talk, Huibo will first focus on the composition and tonal control techniques that can help improving the technical side of black and white. Then she will share her thoughts on how to search our own vision to make personal expressive black and white landscape images.

Bio: Huibo Hou, is a landscape photographer based in San Diego, California. Her interest in photography started back in 1999 as a hobbyist while working in the wireless communication industry. But life got in the way and she had to give up photography for quite some time. In early 2015 she rekindled her love for photography and became much more serious. Her work has been recognized internationally in recent years with multiple awards and publications. Landscape photography, especially in black and white, is the art medium that she is passionate about. She uses it as her creative outlet to express how she observes, interprets, and connects with nature.​​​​

Photographing Nature in High Key Style
Speaker Introduction: Dave Ward - Pictureline

Abstract: High key photography is a powerful, evocative and often ethereal type of photography. It involves creating images where there is a dominance of white or bright tones. For nature photography, it is a type of photography that goes against most “traditional” styles and "rules" of nature photography. It requires the right circumstances – the right light, subject, and setting—in order for the magic of High Key photography to work.
When it all comes together, the results can be spectacular! This class will introduce participants to the genre of High Key photography, which can be one of the most artistic forms of nature photography that can be done in-camera and/or a combination of in-camera and post-processing.
This video class will help you put it all together and begin photographing in high-key style! You may even find a treasure trove of images in your archives that could work perfectly for this approach!
You will learn:
  • What lighting conditions are best (and worst) for high-key photography
  • The settings that are generally recommended for creating high-key work
  • What foregrounds and backgrounds work best for high key photography
  • Composition tips for this style of photography
  • Post-processing tips to create the final look

Don’t Be a Robot! Shake Things Up with These Creative Camera Techniques
Speaker Introduction: Jim Reisman - NISI Filters

Abstract: As Outdoor and Landscape Photographers it’s easy to get caught up in the technical do’s and don’ts when it comes to “properly” using our cameras. There’s a plethora of information available today that speaks towards the “correct” way to create a properly exposed image, or the “correct” way to create a well composed photograph or the “correct” aperture and shutter speed to use for landscape photography and the list goes on and on and on. But, if we all stuck to this “correct’ pathway so to speak for successful photography, we’d all end up creating similar if not the same types of imagery that would result in a robotic feel to the entire art form. In this talk, Mark Denney will discuss creative on-location camera techniques that’ll enable you to step out of the proverbial box and begin creating unique images that tell compelling, captivating, and thought provoking stories of a particular moment spent on-location.

Bio: Mark Denney began working as a part time freelance photographer in 201,6 creating outdoor photography content for local brands.

Keynote Presentation - Paul Nicklen: Success Through Failure
Speaker Introduction: Ryan Smith, Phill Monson, David Swindler

Abstract: Paul Nicklen has earned his status in the photography world. With 14 awards from the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, five awards from World Press Photo Awards, and being named one of the 40 most influential photographers in the world, he has gotten where he is through determination, devotion to his subjects, a thorough knowledge of the ecosystems and inhabitants of polar regions — and of course, an incredible skill with the camera. However, Nicklen credits his failures as one of the key reasons for his success.

Through his magnificent photos and storytelling, Nicklen relates his own personal work experiences to his audiences and their everyday lives. He discusses how in his profession he fails about 98 percent of the time, and it’s all about picking himself up and knowing that with sheer determination and passion, he will succeed. His failures are what reminds him that he is the only chance to connecting the world with these life-changing visuals and relaying important messages about our planet and its ecosystems. This captivating speech is both motivating and passionate, and will leave audiences with a new outlook on their everyday lives and professions.

Bio: Paul Nicklen is a Canadian photographer, filmmaker, and marine biologist who has documented the beauty and the plight of our planet for over twenty years. As an assignment photographer for National Geographic magazine, Nicklen captures the imagination of a global audience.

Nicklen is uniquely qualified to create his brand of documentary photography which informs and creates an emotional connection with wild subjects in extreme conditions. His work delivers audiences to an underwater realm witnessed by few. Nicklen’s sensitive and evocative imagery has garnered over 30 of the highest awards given to any photographer in his field, including the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year and the prestigious World Press Photo for Photojournalism. In November 2019, Nicklen was the youngest person ever inducted into the International Photography Hall of Fame (IPHF).

He is equally recognized by the conservation community for his outspoken work, and has been awarded the Natural Resources Defense Council BioGems Visionary Award. Most recently, Nicklen was bestowed an honorary PhD at the University of Victoria, for the impact his photography has had on climate change.
In addition to being one of the world’s most acclaimed nature photographers, Nicklen is a sought-after speaker, a TED Talks legend, an author, and National Geographic Fellow. In the past two decades, Paul has collaborated with scientists, filmmakers, conservationists and explorers to create awareness and inspire action for global issues like climate change.

As a co-founder of the non-profit, SeaLegacy, Paul Nicklen is opening a fresh, progressive chapter in the story of ocean conservation. Through visual storytelling, Sea Legacy inspires millions of people to stand up and have a voice for the pristine places threatened by climate change.

Experience to expression. The art of effective communication through photography.
Speaker Introduction:  Michael Hollander - B&H Photo Video 

Abstract: For most of us the time spent in interacting with nature is an exhilarating one. Involving the sense of vision, smell, sound, taste and touch, all our senses culminating in an unforgettable experience. As photographers when we try to convey that experience or recreate the emotional impact during such an experience, we are faced with the daunting task of having to condense and convey it through the single sense of vision in a two dimensional photograph. This talk will focus on:
  1. How to quickly identify strong focal elements in a complex scene and use the principles of dynamic symmetry and visual tension for a compelling composition.
  2. How to capitalize on subconscious psychological factors to enhance emotional impact including modulation of light, color and geometry.
  3. How to make the transition from representational/documentary images to those that hold meaningful expression for the artist.
  4. Rendition of a visual pathway with creative vision.
