Bill Wallen - Instructor
Bill Wallen is a local landscape and wildlife photographer. While
those are his specialties and what he enjoys most, he is most certainly
a very diverse artist.
In 2004 he became a volunteer
photographer for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service,
photographing endangered wildlife and documenting the uses of Wild Life
Refuges in the Mid-Atlantic region.
In addition, Bill has
conducted Photography Workshops in cooperation with several of
the wildlife refuges. He has been a co-instructor at the Fish and Wildlife’s
National Conservation Training Center in Shepherdstown West Virginia and most recently with the Ward Museum in Salisbury Maryland.
There, he has taught teenagers digital photography that, in turn,
taught them about conservation and the respect they should have for the world around us. Photography, especially digital
photography has become one of the most important ways of documenting
our environment.
Bill has spent a lifetime in photography
receiving his first camera at the age of seven. He started shooting
Nikons in 1969 and now owns almost everything Nikon has made to date,
with more to come.
Bill also began to work for Metromedia, now
known as 20th Century Fox since 1959. He was a technical director and
has worked on film and television productions through out the country.
He has since retired and can now devote all of his time to his family and photography.
