Member Profile: Claudia Schellenberg

closeI am interested in both photography and pastel painting. A self-taught photographer, I have been shooting in earnest since the winter of 2006. I am active in the NYC Sierra Club Photography Committee, where our focus is on nature photography. Working outdoors enables me to get close to nature and to achieve a degree of solitude. As a city dweller, this immersion in nature recharges my batteries. Working outdoors has intensified my awareness of changing light patterns, moving clouds, and the effects of light and shadow on my subjects.
