Making the Move From Scientist to Full-Time Professional Conservation Photographer with Luciane Coletti
b'
#064: It's a fairly common thing to meet scientists, biologists researchers who have decided that where their real passion lies is not necessarily in doing science, but in documenting science and communicating it.
