Mary took this image in Alaska from a small boat, using a tripod with a gimbal head. "It had been pouring for six days. It was about 40 degrees. There was a one-hour span where we had sunshine. It was a confluence of luck and patience that produced this image," she says. Photo © Mary D'Agostino.

Emerging nature and landscape photographer Mary D’Agostino is as homegrown as much of her work. A busy executive by day, Mary used to spend her vacations painting wildlife, but in recent years, she has developed a passion for photography. She put herself through a “school of photography” taking workshops and classes at The Image Flow and started working one-on-one with Stuart. “I was doing projects and shooting a lot, and I would routinely bring my work in for critique from Stuart.”
Mary has also sought critiques from experts in the field of nature photography, which have been met with increasing success. “I’m fearless when it comes to finding people in the field of photography to evaluate my photographs,” she says.
