Turning Hummingbird Photography into Conservation Awareness
Anthony Lujan Returns to the Sedona Hummingbird Festival in 2027
Award-winning author, hummingbird photographer, and conservation advocate Anthony Lujan will return to the Sedona Hummingbird Festival in 2027 with a new presentation exploring how hummingbird photography can become a powerful tool for conservation awareness.
Turning Hummingbird Photography into Conservation Awareness takes audiences beyond the photograph to explore what happens after the camera shutter clicks and how a single encounter with an endangered hummingbird can lead to education, advocacy, fundraising, and meaningful conservation action.
Drawing from his firsthand experiences photographing endangered hummingbirds throughout the Americas, Anthony will share the stories behind two remarkable species, the critically endangered Chilean Woodstar and Short-crested Coquette.
Through his photography, video footage, published books, articles, media coverage, and direct involvement in conservation initiatives, Anthony will illustrate how his work has evolved from documenting these extraordinary birds to helping raise awareness of the challenges threatening their survival.
