Orange Audubon is very fortunate to have the Chin family offering this workshop. Wei-Shen Chin is an Orlando-based wildlife photographer. He began his career as a photojournalist in Cleveland, OH, shooting for UPI/Reuters and covering the Indians, Browns and Cavaliers. During COVID, he turned his attention to wildlife photography and developed a love for capturing birds-in-flight, one of the most technically challenging aspects of wildlife photography. His work has been featured in many publications and websites including Orange Audubon, Florida State Parks and Oakland Heritage Center. He is most proud of his three children, Lauren, Nicole, and Matthew, who have also become award-winning photographers.
