If you enjoy nature, animals, hiking or just flipping through National Geographic, The Backpacker is hosting the perfect event for you tonight.
Nationally published wildlife and conservation photographer Jami Tarris gives a presentation on her exotic wildlife photography Thursday, July 13.
As part of a 30-year-plus photography career, Tarris has spent a little more than a decade photographing wildlife and conservation issues. In part thanks to her psychology background, much of her work focuses on animal behavior in the wild. Her photos have been showcased in a variety of museums, such as the Smithsonian Institute and London’s Natural History Museum, and national publications, including National Geographic, Outside Magazine and National Wildlife Federation. She and her photographer husband Theo Allofs co-own Focus Expeditions, an adventure travel company that provides photography tours specializing in natural history and conservation.
