Munir Kureshi

Munir Kureshi, who grew up in Ahmedabad, India, is a veterinarian and brings his knowledge and concern for animals to his gentle imagery. As Munir says: "Nature, from the African plains to the wilderness of Alaska, is powerful, captivating and majestic. Through my photos, I hope to share the beauty and danger that nature provides."

Munir has set up his backyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains to attract hummingbirds. The most recent count showed over 100 of them buzzing around feeders and natural flowers.

His workshops have gotten raven reviews from amateur to National Geographic photographers.

“I didn’t know how passionate and talented Munir was about photography, until I took his hummingbird workshop. You are going to be astonished after you photograph at this miracle backyard! ” – Ann Clevenger

Daniella Theoret

Photography and art have always been a passion for Daniella. In 1999, she received her degree in Fine Art with a major in animation, drawing and photography.

Larry Stueck

Larry has been expressing his vision through the lens for most his life. 1980 marked a major turn in his art when he realized both the artistry and technical control of his medium during an intense two week workshop with Oliver Gagliani. Other influences include many west coast photographers such as Edward Weston, Wynn Bullock, and Michael Kenna to name a few.

Larry recently left his day job and now devotes his entire time to fine art photography. He is well versed in both the traditional and digital approaches to fine art photography.

His work has appeared in B&W magazine and has been shown in several group shows including the Rockwell Museum.

Robert Kato

Robert Kato has been photographically capturing fine art images for over three decades. His extensive art education has provided him with a strong foundation in the art of seeing as well as visual communication.



His photographic journey began soon after he developed his first roll of film and watched his first print "magically" appear in the developer tray. That magic reappeared with the advent of digital photography and Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop helped to satisfy his ambition of becoming a painter and now the mouse has become his brush and the monitor his palette. The photographic paintings were created with an Iris printer.


Presently, he works as a fine art digitographer and master printmaker providing post-production assistance to traditional as well as digital photographers. Sharing his expertise, he provides photographers with several aesthetic options for creating an unique photographic expression that can be a departure from the original image.



Robert’s work has recently been exhibited at ModernBook and Mango Pickles galleries in Palo Alto among other galleries.

Alex Navarro

My interest in nature photography developed from my lifelong love of the outdoors. In my late teens I started taking landscape and macro photos with an old screw mount Pentax Asahi that was given to me.

A few years later I purchased my first auto focus SLR and started photographing animals with a preference for birds. I like the challenge that bird photography can be and the rewards one can get from learning about their behavior and habits.

I am as much a bird watcher as a photographer and I've traveled throughout the U.S., Central and South America pursuing birds.
