Photography can change what we notice and what we choose to protect.
Nature photography helps us see more clearly, care more deeply, and share the stories of the natural world. On November 7, NANPA LIVE brings our community together to celebrate the images, ideas, and people advancing the field.
The afternoon will include conversations and presentations, the NANPA Career and Service Awards, a curated silent auction, the live announcement of the winners of NANPA Showcase 2027, and time to connect with peers and industry partners.

For Nature, Through Photography
The Foundation supports scholarships, education, conservation, and photographic opportunities that help people understand and care for the natural world.
NANPA advances nature photography as a medium for communication, appreciation, and environmental protection while connecting the people who practice it.
A Gift in Action
Your support makes a real difference. For example, the Nature Photography Foundation supports NANPA’s College Photography Scholarship Program, giving undergraduate and graduate students a field-based opportunity to learn from working professionals, build relationships across the industry, and use photography, video, and audio to tell a story for nature.
Your support of the Foundation also advances scholarships, conservation grants, photo-blind projects, education, and other programs that help people see—and protect—the natural world.
