Festival Presentations
WHY JAN'S PRESENTATIONS ARE UNIQUE
Jan Latta is the author, wildlife photographer, designer and publisher of books on endangered animals. With 12 books to her name, she has a wealth of knowledge to share with students.
Jan's photographs and stories are genuine because she follows wild animals in their natural habits – in Africa, India, Borneo and China. She waits patiently for weeks, sometimes years to capture the magic photograph that tells the animal's story. She is "the voice" of the animal through her photographs and stories.
She offers an exciting show with a power point presentation of photographs and videos she has taken in the wild. Jan describes how each book was created and takes the audience on wonderful adventures.
