August SFUPS In-Person Meeting

We are excited to share that our July 2025 in-person speaker will be James Ferrara, presenting on “Frozen Frontiers: Underwater Encounters in Antarctica.”

At a very young age, James’s family moved to South Florida. Living in coastal communities along the East Coast of Florida over the past 40 years, he has centered his life around the ocean. This has instilled a deep love for the marine world and its inhabitants. As an avid diver, James began his photography journey with a Go Pro to document his underwater encounters. Eight years ago, he bought his first mirrorless camera with an underwater housing to obtain greater control of his photographic practice. As a self-taught photographer, James successfully honed his skills behind the lens to create vibrant and crisp images of underwater subjects. He believes he gets his eye for composition and creative passion from his mother, who is an accomplished artist. In recent years, his photos have been featured by National Geographic, BBC Earth, and Discovery. He has also received “Highly Commended” honors in some of the world’s most prestigious underwater photography competitions, including the Ocean Photography Awards and Underwater Photographer of the Year. He just recently won the Underwater Category of the Nature Photo Contest.

James just returned from a month-long trip to Antarctica focusing on underwater photography of leopard seals, penguins, humpback whales, and icebergs. In this presentation, he will share his experiences and photographic tips from this stunning Antarctic region.
