Paul Marcellini was born and raised 20 miles from Everglades National Park. Always attracted to the outdoors, it was natural to begin photographing them when he picked up a camera in 2005. Since then, he has gone on to win awards in multiple international competitions and have his imagery shown in Everglades National Park, Biscayne National Park, Miami International Airport, and several museums in South Florida. In 2016 he was chosen to have his Everglades image used for a USPS stamp celebrating 100 years of US National Parks. A self-taught naturalist, he is constantly out to educate the public and create awareness for the vital ecosystems of South Florida.
Erin Babnik is known for her ambitious and expressive style of photography and for her adventurous approach in the field. Erin’s dedication to the medium of photography evolved out of her years working as an art historian and archaeologist, photographing in museums and in archaeological sites throughout Europe and the Middle East for the purposes of teaching and research. She subsequently spent years producing photographs on assignment and for licensing, all the while expanding her personal photographic excursions to increasingly remote outdoor locations.
She now works as a full-time landscape photographer, traveling extensively from home bases in both California and Slovenia and teaching photography workshops on both continents. Erin draws upon her background in art history in bringing a deep knowledge of aesthetics, visual communication, and cultural relevancy to her own photographic work and to her writing and public speaking about photography. Erin’s photographs have appeared in well over a hundred publications, including books, travel guides, magazines, newspapers, and television shows. Erin is also honored to be a Canon Explorer of Light and a member of the illustrious nature photography team Photo Cascadia.

Bill Bailey isn’t your average shutterbug. This photography adventurer spent part of his career traversing the Alaskan wilderness, capturing family portraiture of remote villagers and the children in outlying school districts with his company, Northern Exposure Photography of Alaska.
But the call of warmer climates lured Bill south, where he met his “Aussie sweetheart,” Kim. Together, they embarked on a new photographic odyssey: the captivating world of panoramic imagery. In 2004, Bill joined forces with Nick Fan to co-found Nodal Ninja, a company that’s become a leading name in panoramic photography. Bill’s passion wasn’t just about capturing breathtaking landscapes, he’s a huge fan of the art form itself, using his influence to promote panoramic photography and helping others to ignite creative expression, from snowy deserts to sandy beaches. After 14 years as C.E.O. of Nodal Ninja, Bill decided to retire but he’s still actively involved in photography. He offers expertise to Fanotec, ensuring their innovative tripod heads keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
Since 2013 Bill has also been very proud to be part of the Epson Pano Awards VR/ 360 Judging Panel.
