Kelley Luikey is a South Carolina based award-winning photographer, who specializes in fine art bird images. Her photos consistently rank in the Top 100 Images for national and international competitions such as the National Audubon Society, North American Nature Photographers Association and others. They have also appeared in numerous publications including the National Audubon Society magazine and on the cover of Garden and Gun magazine.
While the majority of her time is spent photographing the local species of birds that she loves, she also travels for her bird photography and enjoys the challenge and excitement of photographing birds in different locations.
Kelley’s talk will focus on how to photograph birds with more intention and creativity. She will discuss how she uses her camera, how she composes shots and where she goes to find her subjects.
Kelley shows her photography at Pluff Mudd Art Gallery in Old Town Bluffton. She also donates 2% of sales to Audubon South Carolina. She hopes to inspire others to love and protect the beauty of the birds we have here in South Carolina.
