In our Featured Photographer series, we highlight the work of our former and current students!<\/p>\n

Your Name: Grant John
\n<\/strong>Alias: The Carefree Photographer (www.carefreephotographer.blogspot.com<\/a>), also on FB
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Type of Camera: \u00a0Nikon D750 and Nikon D500<\/strong><\/p>\n

What do you love to photograph the most? \u00a0<\/strong>All forms of wildlife, including birds. We have been to Botswana three times in recent years, as well as Alaska and Costa Rica. I also enjoy landscape photography, having lived in Arizona for several years.<\/p>\n

What is one thing you have learned that has improved your photography? \u00a0 <\/strong>Light!!! Learn to shoot early and late in the day, and get in the best positions to optimize the light.<\/p>\n

Advice you\u2019d give to others wanting to grow in their photography skills: \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>I was fortunate in Arizona to be part of a great photography group that met monthly to critique images of specific subjects, and also did frequent group phot shoots. The experience gained from others was invaluable. So my advice is to join with others who share your love of photography.<\/p>\n
