Eva was about 11 years old when her parents gave her a camera,  a Kodak Brownie Starmatic (which she still has).  With it, she learned the basics of photography, and then went on to use her father’s old steel Voigtlaender camera (she still has it, too) for more formal photography training.   In 2013, she started learning digital photography and processing, an ongoing effort that has happily occupied much of her time since then.  NVPS has been integral to her photo education.  She has served as coordinator for Education and Training and, currently, for Members’ Gallery.

Nature photography, including all kinds of wildlife, is Eva’s favorite subject, because she enjoys being outdoors as much as possible.  She also wants to contribute, in an admittedly small way, to preserving the natural world through her images.  So much of it is under threat.

In the last few years, Eva has especially enjoyed photographing animals and birds in ways that demonstrate how much they communicate without words as we understand them. Anger, fear, love, and fun, for example, are some of the sentiments they seem to express in their own ways.  Her prints will illustrate the eloquence of animal and bird language as she has experienced it.
