From the organizer

Lili is a wildlife and conservation photographer based in Dallas, Texas, focused on birds and the rapidly changing landscapes they depend on. Her work explores the intersection of wildlife and human expansion, documenting species in environments that are becoming increasingly fragmented and unpredictable. She has contributed imagery to the National Audubon Society and its regional chapters and currently serves as Member Programs Chair for Audubon Dallas. Her fieldwork is rooted in ethical practices and a commitment to capturing authentic behavior without disrupting the subject. She specializes in photographing fast-moving species in dynamic, often challenging conditions. Through her work, she aims to create images that not only draw people in but leave them with a deeper awareness of what’s being lost, and what is still worth protecting. Program Description: She will cover suggestions for photographing birds, great locations for bird photography and how to make your images come alive. But even more important than that, she will talk about the reasons our bird populations are declining and how that affects our ecosystems.
