Artistry in Design: Understanding how the principles of design affect our visual response to an image can help photographers communicate more effectively through their work. This presentation explores, in depth, the ways in which 10 design elements—such as line, balance, and perspective—impact the visual flow of a photograph. By learning how the viewer’s eye moves through a frame, photographers gain the insight to create images that are more intentional, expressive, and visually compelling. Mastering these principles is a critical step toward producing stronger, more dramatic photography.
A Distinguished Career in Art and Education: An internationally acclaimed nature photographer, Jennifer King is widely known for her distinctive artistry and her passion for teaching photographers around the world. Drawing on her background in fine art and design, she brings a creative, unique perspective to both landscape and wildlife photography. Jennifer has earned an international reputation for her award-winning black-and-white work, making history as the first woman to receive both Ambassador and Master Photographer distinctions in nature photography. She was named the number one wildlife photographer in the United States in 2025.
A Passion for Giving Back: Beyond her artistic and educational endeavors, Jennifer is the founder of Photography for the Fight Against Breast Cancer (PFABC), an industry-wide organization that unites some of the most respected names in the photographic community to raise vital funds for breast cancer research.
