Our Guest Speaker for February is:
Jami Tarris & Theo Allofs

Jami Tarris has been photographing for over 30 years. During this time she fell in love with nature photography and started photographing wildlife and landscapes full-time as a professional nature photographer 14 years ago. Her work focuses on conservation issues, endangered species and fragile landscapes. Since then she has published in books, magazines and newspapers worldwide. Her work has been featured in National Geographic, Africa Geographic, the Guardian, Outdoor magazine, BBC, Nature’s Best, Ranger Rick and more. She has won several awards in the prestigious BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year, the Windland Smith Nature’s Best and the National Wildlife Foundation. Her images have been exhibited in museums such as the Smithsonian, London’s Natural History Museum, and the Natural History Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia and others. Jami’s work with critically endangered orangutans has been published in magazines and newspapers worldwide.
Theo Allofs has been a full time professional photographer for the past 30 years. In 1995 he started to specialize in wildlife and nature photography with a strong focus on endangered animals and threatened habitats. His work has been published in all major natural history and other renowned magazines and newspapers around the world including National Geographic Magazine, Smithsonian, Time Magazine, New York Times, Newsweek, GEO, American Photo. He is author/photographer of seven books including coffee table books about the Yukon, Namibia, Australia and the Pantanal. “Pantanal – South America’s Wetland Jewel” was voted by Discover Magazine as one of the ten best scientific oriented books of the year. During his career Theo has won numerous international awards, including 12 awards in the prestigious BBC Wildlife Photographer Of The Year competition.
His Fine Art Prints have been purchased by clients around the globe and many museums worldwide have exhibited his work, including the Natural History Museum in London, the Smithsonian and the Annenberg Space Museum for Photography.
Jami and Theo met on the Arctic frozen tundra while photographing polar bears and their newborn cubs. They have been photographing together ever since. Theo tells everyone that they met in a polar bear den, but Jami will correct him and tell you they met before they were actually crazy enough to slide down into the empty polar bear den together!
