Vitual Photography Talk – A Passion for Wildlife Photography, the Stories Behind the Image
Westchester Photographic Society Presents Irene Sacilotto
This talk is based on my more than 35 plus years’ experience photographing wildlife
and covers the requirements, strategies, techniques, and equipment required to capture
engaging images of animals in their natural habitat. Included is information on lighting
and composition, plus locating, attracting, and approaching wildlife. The program is
interwoven with some entertaining stories behind some of the images.
Biography
For more than 35 years, I have shared my photographic experiences and love of nature
with thousands of individuals through more than 300 photo classes, workshops,
lectures, and tours in both the U.S. and abroad including Kenya, Iceland,
Newfoundland, the Falkland Islands, the Brazilian Pantanal, South Dakota Badlands,
Bosque del Apache, Chincoteague NWR, Tangier Island, etc. Program sponsors have
included zoos, nature centers, camera clubs, and conservation organizations such as
National Wildlife Federation and the Assateague Island Alliance. For many years, I
have taught photography classes at Johns Hopkins University and other educational
institutions and have written “How To” articles on nature photography for national
publications such as Outdoor Photographer and Birding. My images have appeared
in magazines, calendars, and books published by National Wildlife Federation, Natural
History Society, Audubon, and Sierra Club. Credits include the book, “Chincoteague
National Wildlife Refuge, an Ecological Treasure.
