Keynote speaker says ‘no place like home’
Although he has traveled the globe, award-winning photographer Todd Pusser prefers spending his time and clicking his shutter in his native state of North Carolina documenting the extraordinary diversity of life closer to home and the environmental impacts facing the southeastern United States.
Pusser will talk about and show photographs depicting the extraordinary diversity of North Carolina’s plants and wildlife during his presentation at the keynote reception held during Wings Over Water Wildlife Festival. The event, which includes a social hour, dinner and the keynote presentation will be held at the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island.
Trained as a biologist, Pusser soon realized he had an artistic side and began documenting the natural world with his camera. His travels have taken him to more than 30 countries and into every ocean basin on earth.
His photographs have appeared in hundreds of publications around the world and have been featured in prominent magazines such as BBC Wildlife, National Wildlife, National Geographic Kids, and Ocean Realm — to name a few.
His photography has earned awards in prestigious international wildlife photography competitions such as BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year and Nature’s Best Photo Competition.
He is regular contributor to Wildlife in North Carolina magazine and is currently producing a book about the biodiversity of his home state.
When not in some far-flung corner of the globe, Pusser resides in the Sandhills of North Carolina with his wife Tiffany. To view some of his extraordinary photographs, visit www.ToddPusser.com.
Cost $35 and includes social at 6 p.m., dinner at 7 and keynote.
