Getting the word out: My Life Photographing Wildlife Research
Bruce has been a professional wildlife photographer for over 40 years.
He has been following research biologists around the world taking photos of their work in order to provide them with images for publications, presentations, and public relations work. Many of the images are simply “biologists in the field photos” but many are of animals in settings that have never been seen before. For some of his images, he had to develop unique photographic techniques or learn new ways to capture images. His photographic toolbox includes high speed flashes, infrared trips, microscope objectives, focusing rails, underwater cameras, animal lures, and night vision goggles.
Bruce will present several images, give their backstory, and explain the photographic techniques he uses. From landscape images of bats exiting volcanic lava tube caves in Nicaragua, to breeding bees in AZ, to microscopic images of the sexual features of Panamanian orchid bees, he will attempt to show how his images benefit the conservation of our valuable wildlife resources. He will also present a variety of images showing the diversity of research projects he has photographed.
