The South Australian Photographic Federation invites interested photographers to a morning of 2 photographic sessions, exploring the world of macro, floral and infrared photography
by highly acclaimed photographer and lecturer, Jenni Horsnell, AFIAP, FAPS.

Jenni is a dedicated photographer and naturalist, preferring to capture her macro subjects in their environment under natural conditions. Her acute appreciation of the beauty and detail of the insect world, along with birdlife and flora have resulted in her gaining many awards, including her APS FAPS (1999) and the award of ‘Artist’ (AFIAP) by the International
Federation of Photographic Art (2002). She has won the Animal Behaviour section and the portfolio prize for the best six images in the ANZANG Nature and Landscape Photographer of
the Year Competition and was runner up in the Botanical Section. She is also a talented digital technician, preparing complex digitally manipulated montages of her non nature images. She undertakes scientific photography for various research publications and tertiary teaching aids.
