APA DC 30 Minutes with Steve Jessmore, January 11, 2022

Join APA |DC as they present 30 Minutes with photojournalist turned nature photographer Steve Jessmore on Tuesday, January 11th at noon. This event is free to all APA Members, Future APA Members and Students.

Steve has 30-plus years of experience in photojournalism, publication, photo editing, problem solving and higher education photography.\”Jump ahead to 2020. While scary and life changing, Covid presented many of us a rare gift of time. My work was mostly cancelled, and my calendar cleared so I pledged to myself to use this time constructively and learn something new. I bought a kayak and challenged myself to photograph the world around me. My passion became birds doing things, using a combination of my photojournalism and artistic skills to tell their story. The isolation experiment paid off as my skills grew. I posted to social media and received countless notes from those shut in of how these images brought joy daily to their altered lives. I also decided to enter the Audubon contest. My photography entries swept both prizes awarded in the professional division of the 2021 Audubon Photography Awards- winning first prize and honorable mention.”

Join us for the inspirational talk and to see more of Steve's incredible work!
