Amy Shutt Photography

New online workshop for photographers October 24-25!

Slow photography is a new way of approaching image creation and capture. In this class you will experience how to access your internal stillness. You will become more receptive to visual stimulus and naturally begin shooting from a more grounded, centered place.

Together with a small group of like-minded individuals, you will be guided through creative, contemplative explorations helping you develop a new innovative skillset and solidify your own personal style.

You will learn to approach your subjects with intention and create interesting and unique photographs that utilize light, color, technique, and inexpensive (and even DIY) equipment.

Cheetah and African Daisies. The second in my series of sketches (as I learn to paint) of threatened, endangered and extinct wildlife.
Widely known as the planet’s fastest land animal, the Cheetah is listed as Threatened. Today, there are estimated to be only ~ 6674 cheetahs left in the wild – and their future remains uncertain, as their numbers are decreasing..
Threats include loss of habitat and fragmentation due to livestock farming & ranching, roads & railroads, hunting & trapping, human intrusions & disturbance, war, civil unrest & military exercises, invasive and other problematic species, genes & diseases.

In Africa they are now known to persist in only 10% of their historic range (IUCN SSC 2007a, b, 2012, in prep.), while their distribution in Asia is limited to the central deserts of Iran. In Africa, Southern and Eastern Africa are the species strongholds, but there has been significant range loss across all regions.
For ways to help see-
is an internationally recognized center of excellence in the conservation of cheetahs and their ecosystems. CCF works with stakeholders to develop best practices in research, education, and land use to benefit all species, including people.
