Connect with Sony Artisan of Imagery, iLCP Fellow and conservation photographer Melissa Groo for a Takeover AMA in the Alpha Universe Community Forum throughout the week of July 22. She will spend time in the forums every day over the next week to answer questions, give feedback on photos, talk through project ideas and more.
Groo seeks to tell the stories of the natural world through images and words. It is her mission to inspire conservation of the animals she is privileged to witness and the habitat crucial to their survival. She's also a leading voice and consultant on ethics in wildlife photography and her work has appeared on the covers of Audubon, Smithsonian, Natural History, Living Bird and Outdoor Photographer magazines and in publications such as National Geographic and National Wildlife.
When Groo is out in the field, her main goal is to not affect the wildlife’s behavior to get a shot. To capture successful and ethical wildlife images, she relies on the sharpness and reach she gets from a select set of Sony gear. Watch the video below as Groo goes through each piece of gear in her bag, explaining which she reaches for in a variety of situations while shooting in the field.
