Case Studies in Nature Photography with Russell Graves

August 13, 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT

In this webinar, Russell will discuss some of the considerations that go into just about every good nature photograph. he’ll show some photographs and give you a brief case study of each. This webinar will teach you to think about the elements of an image before you even take the picture.

He will help photographers build consistency in their practices and understand the elements that go into every good nature photograph and a framework in which to think about those elements.

Raised in rural Texas, Russell is the product of a modest, blue-collar upbringing, a stalwart work ethic, and a family who put no bounds on his imagination and creativity. When Russell was a junior in high school, he wrote a research paper for his end-of-year English project. The research paper (which he still has today), titled simply Wildlife Photography, earned him an “A” for the project. Still, more importantly, the mini-tome served as a manifesto of sorts that would define his life’s work.

When he was 19, he had his first photographs and article published in a magazine. When he was 20, he earned his first magazine cover. By his own admission, the work now appears marginal and sophomoric. It was the spark, however, that ignited the fire to keep him going and perfect his creative craft.

In 2018, Russell started leading photographic workshops and sharing his knowledge and love of the outdoors and photography. Since then, Russell has led nearly 500 guests on adventures worldwide.

Russell says he feels like he’s come full circle by combining his love of photography with his teaching ability.

In the media, Russell’s been called a rural renaissance man, recognized as one of the top photographers in Texas, and praised by editors, art directors, and audiences alike for his ability to connect people and places through his written, spoken, and photographic stories. He’s had nearly a million words published, authored six books, has had thousands of images grace the pages of magazines and advertisements all over the world (including hundreds of magazine covers), is an in-demand speaker, has photographed some of the most prominent people in our country, and is the owner of two businesses. Still, he insists that his most significant accomplishments fall under the heading of father, husband, brother, son, and friend.
