Northwest Chapter Conference Overview

Human/Nature

When September 21-23, 2018
Where AMK Ranch in Grand Teton National Park, AMK Ranch in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
Keynote Speaker Jesse Burke, Clare Benson

This year's Northwest SPE conference will examine how the photographic medium can explore interactions between human and nature, as well as human nature itself. How do these concepts oppose one another? In what context can they be compatible? Against the backdrop of the Wyoming's Teton mountains, workshops, panels, and discussions will expand beyond landscape photography, delving into topics such as portraiture within nature, human impact on the environment, construction of boundaries, public lands management, and more.

Human/Nature can be broadly defined and SPE is looking forward to a wide range of unique and exciting proposals related to this concept.

Where: University of Wyoming's NPS Research Station at the AMK Ranch.  On Jackson Lake, 1 hour north of Jackson, Wyoming.

When: September 21 – 23, 2018

Keynote Speaker: Jesse Burke (jesseburke.com) and Clare Benson (www.clarebenson.com/)
