Program: Russ Burden: The Serengeti: A Nature Photographer’s Paradise

For the wildlife photographer, the Serengeti is the ultimate. The number of animals along with their openness to be approached is beyond comprehension. It provides an environment unlike anywhere else on the planet. From the moment I saw my first wild zebra, I was hooked. I vowed to return to this special place. Thankfully I’ve been bestowed the opportunity numerous times. During my presentation I will dispense facts about the animals and their environment, share photo tips on how to make captivating images, provide info about how I made the pics, and most of all, share my enthusiasm and hope my feeling is contagious.

Program: Lisa Langell: The New Nature Photography: Letting Go of the Old Playbook

Nature photography has changed—and so have the ways people experience it. Gone are the days when bold colors, tight crops, and dramatic action shots were created specifically for magazines and calendars. Today, audiences are looking for something different. They want photography that fits beautifully into the spaces where they live and work—art that feels calming, intentional, and emotionally resonant.

In this eye-opening session, award-winning photographer and educator Lisa Langell will guide your group through a fresh approach to photographing wildlife and nature. You'll explore how modern design trends influence the types of images people want to display, and how to shift your creative mindset to match. From soft color palettes and negative space to minimalism and subject placement, Lisa will share the tools and techniques that help photographers create images designed not for the page—but for the wall.

This session will expand your thinking and inspire a more artful, intentional approach to nature photography. It’s designed to help you shift your mindset, explore new visual styles, and create work that feels fresh and relevant in today’s world of photography as wall art.
