About SHERB NAULTY: Sherb Naulty is a professional photographer specializing in nature and landscape discipline. His work has been published in local and national publications and his fine art prints hang in both private collections and on public display. He teaches group workshops along with private mentorships. His images communicate both the dramatic and subtle details of the world around us. He is currently working on a book about the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge and a children’s book.

Images should communicate with emotion prompting the viewer to pause and feel a reaction to the subject. Still photography freezes a moment in time and without the aid of sound or context moves a viewer to have an emotional reaction of some sort. The ability to prompt someone to care about a photograph is what has drawn Naulty to this art/craft.
