Do you ever find yourself in a creative rut, simply shooting cookie-cutter assignments or projects?

How do you rejuvenate yourself and get excited once again about picking up your camera? This event with Canon Explorer of Light Seth Resnick may be just what the doctor ordered!

Join us as Seth shares anecdotes on dealing with clients, both for assignment and stock, favorite and most unusual projects and what drove him to tackle them, his observations on the state of the industry, and his take on stock photography. Seth will share some of the most powerful lessons he has learned in his photographic career. How has he transformed from a fledgling newspaper photographer into the industry icon he is now. And finally, what jazzes Seth about taking out his camera today and how he recharge his creative batteries.

This event is sponsored by and made possible by Canon.

South Florida Camera Club is very pleased to present award-winning photographer and documentary producer Ron Magill.

Ron has worked with wildlife for over 30 years and has had the privilege of having hands-on experience with a tremendous variety of animals ranging from crocodiles to eagles to cheetahs. He is an internationally recognized zoological authority who has appeared on a wide variety of local, national, and international programs including “National Geographic Explorer,” the “Today Show,” “Good Morning America,” “NBC Nightly News,” “The Late Show with David Letterman,” “CBS’ The Early Show,” “Live with Regis,” “Dateline,” and CNN. Ron is also a frequent wildlife analyst for “MSNBC” and makes regular appearances on Spanish language television programs including international hits “Sabado Gigante” and “Despierta America.”

His extensive experiences have taken him around the globe to explore the wonders of our natural world. From swimming with sea lions off of the Galapagos Islands to tracking tigers on the back of an elephant in India, his adventures have allowed him to live many of the dreams he had as a child. No place has made a greater impact on him than the magical continent of Africa to which he has traveled over 30 times. He considers traveling to the wilds of Africa a “safari of the soul” that will leave the visitor with an indelible impression of indescribable beauty from a world lost in time.

Ron’s images have appeared in publications and galleries around the world including the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Ron hopes his images will help inspire an appreciation for wildlife along with efforts to protect it for generations to come.

This meeting should fill up quick so show up on time to get a good seat!
