VIDEO: Ethical Wildlife Photography Wildlife Wednesday

If you missed Carl Johnson’s Wildlife Wednesday on ethical wildlife photography, you can catch it here!

Watch this virtual presentation and career spotlight by Carl Johnson as he shares stories of wildlife photography, existing ethical guidelines in how to conduct wildlife photography responsibly, and some case studies on unethical behavior. He will also discuss the varied paths that people can take to become a professional nature photographer.

Carl Johnson, owner of Alaska Photo Treks, has been photographing Alaska's wildlife landscapes for over twenty years. During that time, digital photography and social media interactions have increased the proliferation of photography as a hobby, and the pressures on natural photographic subjects. While many people are eager to get great shots of wildlife, they rarely think of how their photography impacts their subjects.
