Photography is much more than pointing your camera at a scene and tripping the shutter. Weighing the assorted components within the frame of the viewfinder is important as it impacts the resulting image, and subsequently the viewer. Unlike painters who begin their art with a clean canvas, photographers begin with a canvas fully loaded. Recognizing how to evaluate and isolate the various graphical elements from this filled canvas enables the photographer to create an impactful, visual story.

Past President of the Stony Brook Camera Club, she is the recipient of many photography awards and her images have appeared in Yankee Magazine, the Boston Globe, Lighthouse Digest, and were featured in Nikon’s 100th birthday celebration. She has presented and judged at camera club councils, camera clubs, and art associations throughout the US.

Silvana helps others expand their own photographic vision through her photography workshops, photo walks, photo tours, private instruction, and club presentations on various photography topics including infrared, Milky Way, black and white, nightscapes, deep space photography, and time-lapse. She challenges photographers to consider that there is much more in a scene than what is visible to the human eye and to tap into the power of their cameras to discover it. To her, life is best summarized by the quote ‘Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death.’ – from the 1958 film ‘Auntie Mame’
