The Texas Nature and Environmental Photographers (TexNEP) organization holds its next meeting on the evening of Tuesday, February 17, 2026 at 6:50 pm at South Texas College, HSP Campus Building A 4th Floor room 401.
Somewhere between macro and the grand landscape, there lies a world that often goes
unnoticed, and it's where we can find and create powerful images of nature that
celebrate nature on a deeper level. Brenda will discuss and share images that define
what an intimate landscape is, and how we can learn to see and photograph them.
Intimate Landscapes allow us to explore the natural landscape more slowly and in any
time of day, not being dependent upon the golden hours of sunrise or sunset. They
suggest the deep canyons, rushing oceans, and lush forests that often lie just outside
the frame, and rely on the visual design elements such as pattern, texture, and rhythm.
Brenda is a professional photographer and long-time educator with a life-long passion
for exploring and photographing. Her photographs have appeared on many national
magazines and in books for clients such as the Sierra Club, Audubon, National
Geographic Books, Michelin Travel Guides, Nature Conservancy, Traveler, and many
more. She has received high commendations for her work in Wildlife Photographer of
the Year as well as Expressions Magazine Photo Competition (NANPA).
Brenda is the author/photographer of two books, including Expressive Nature
Photography and she co-authored Extraordinary Everyday Photography. She has
presented to thousands of people at photo conferences including Out of Chicago, BH
OPTIC, Carolinas Nature Association, North America Nature Photographers
Association, and The London Royal Photographic Society.
She currently lives on the road full time, with her partner, exploring the natural world and
discovering the heart of America in its land and people.
An in-person field trip for paid members is planned for the weekend after the meeting.
Date: to be discussed in the meeting,
