An emerging talent in nature photography, Alex Mody—winner of the Nature’s Best Windland Smith Rice International 2009 Youth Photographer of the Year Award—specializes in landscape photography. Alex’s nature images have been featured in the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, Nature’s Best Photography Magazine, Elan Magazine, N-Photo Magazine, as well as on a number of websites including Discovery Channel.com and MSNBC.com. In addition, Alex offers fine art photo prints for sale, has written numerous articles for NatureScapes.net, and offers both private and full-group landscape and nature photography workshops. Alex, just 22 years old, lives in damp and beautiful Olympia, Washington, where he attends The Evergreen State College.

This presentation will feature images from the mountains, coastlines, rain forests, and waterfalls of the Pacific Northwest region, and Alex will be speaking about both the creative and technical methods  he used to make them.
