Opening Reception: Friday August 7th from 7 to 10pm
Joseph Ferraro is a conservation macro photographer walking the naturalist’s path, based in Ferndale, Michigan. His yard, planted with native species, doubles as his field studio, and is where the journey began. Working by a “do no harm” credo, he photographs portraits of insects and pollinators as they are in their environment: native bees, ambush bugs, jumping spiders, and the countless other tiny creatures most people walk past without a second glance. Shortlisted for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 61 People’s Choice Award, his work asks viewers to look more closely at the intricate world around them, one that doesn’t require a plane ticket, just patience.
Rick Lieder is a photographer and painter whose work has been shown in art and zoological galleries in the Midwest and Canada, featured on PBS, and anchors an award-winning series of picture books.
He lives and works in urban nature, surrounded by trees, bees, and birds.”
I’m Joseph Ferraro, a macro photographer documenting the often overlooked creatures around me. Through my work, I focus on the beauty and complexity of the small lives that are easy to miss. I’m also a lecturer and instructor, teaching macro photography and sharing the natural history of the subjects I photograph. Follow along as I explore and reveal the remarkable tiny world that exists around us.
