Joe Callanan

Wildlife Photographer & Natural History Educator

With a lifelong passion for intimate wildlife encounters, I have worked hard to identify productive habitats and develop my photography skills.

The essence of what I do is nature study. To be witness to a wild animal’s life playing out in front of you is a powerful experience. I have been privileged to learn firsthand so much natural history and the more beauty I see the more I want to see! If there is one thing I have learned it is the better of a naturalist you are the better wildlife photographer you can be.

My style of photography is up close and personal. I strive to capture images that provide an intimate view that reveals the character of the animal. That being said, the goal is to capture wildlife acting naturally in their daily activity. The use of long lenses and respectful techniques are also important.

Ultimately, my goal is to open a window to the wonder and awe that I am consistently blessed to see.

The exhibit is open during regular Madison Library hours in the downstairs John F. Chick Room through the month of December 2024.


The library’s Chick Room has exhibit space for hanging artwork, and two-month-long art shows featuring local artists are planned throughout the year. Artists interested in exhibiting at the library are invited to review our Artistic Display Policy and Agreement, and contact us to arrange an exhibit time.

We are always looking for artists interested in displaying their work for two-month blocks.
