Program: Barbara Fleming: Hunting for Cheetah

Barbara Fleming has spent the last twenty years photographing this highly endangered species. She will share with you her experiences and knowledge of them, especially in the ecosystem along the southern edge of the Serengeti in Tanzania. Sadly, cheetah populations have declined 50% in the last four decades and are only now becoming subject to growing research into the lifestyles and patterns and some rebound in numbers in local areas. The general principle that the best way to better photograph a wildlife subject is by becoming more knowledgeable about the animal itself applies to this species. She will share images that convey the beauty and nature of this still-dwindling species. Barbara's emphasis in her photography is to show emotion in her images. She will illustrate her approach and suggest ways you can evoke emotion in your images regardless of species.
