George Shiras ~ In the Heart of the Dark Night
National Geographic has described him as “the father of wildlife photography” for his early use of camera traps and flash photography.
In 1935, Shiras published Hunting Wild Life with Camera and Flashlight: a Record of Sixty Five years’ Visits to the Woods and Waters of North America, a two-volume set of over 960 of his wildlife photographs including some of the earliest ‘flash’ photography.
