Holyoke Spring Expo Seminar: Around the World with Wildlife Photography…with photographer Steve Upton

Tour the wildlife world with me as I share some of my best images. We will visit polar bears in the North Pole sea ice and penguins in Antarctica, snow monkeys in the Japanese Alps, jaguars in the jungles of Brazil and their brethren from the Serengeti of Africa. We will soar with our feathered friends of Central America, Asia, as well as snowy owls from Canada. And we will not forget the rest of North America. Meanwhile, I will be relating the story behind the shot in addition to some photographic considerations.
About Steve Upton
I am a self taught wildlife and nature photographer. Although I bought my first serious camera gear in 2007, I didn?t really start developing my craft until retirement around 2010. To me, the beauty of photography is that one never stops learning and evolving. This allows us to capture mesmerizing moments in nature that most will never see. Sharing these magnificent events is why I drag my gear to some of the most remote regions of the planet. Showing why something needs to be cared for is so much more powerful than simply banging a drum.
Printing my own work at my studio and gallery gives me great pleasure and a sense of start to finish accomplishment. Much of my work is large format printed on canvas, and although I only have a couple of public gallery openings a year, I am always willing to open privately for show and tell if I am not on the road.
