Ami Vitale will be delivering two seminars entitled “The Stories We Are Seeking” at the Unique Photo Expo in Fairfield, NJ, on Saturday, June 9 from 4:00-5:30 p.m. and on Sunday, June 10, from 10:30 a.m.-12 p.m. The Expo will be held at Unique University at Unique Photo 123 US Highway 46 West Fairfield, NJ 07004

From the Unique Photo Description: Ami Vitale has witnessed civil unrest and violence, but also surreal beauty and the enduring power of the human spirit. She has lived in mud huts and war zones, contracted malaria, and donned a panda suit — all in keeping with her philosophy of “living the story.”

Follow Ami on her journey through nearly 100 countries, beginning with her Nikon FM2 and a hundred rolls of Tri-X, to today where she is using video, stills, and virtual reality… to bring people and wildlife closer to one another.
