Georgia Zumwalt is a Master Photographer & Certified Beekeeper from Jackson County GA. She serves the beekeeping industry as Secretary of the Georgia Beekeepers Association and President of the Northeast Georgia Mountain Beekeepers Association. She serves as a photographic educator, a State Representative for the elite American Society of Photographers, and runs the physical print division of the International Photographic Competition for the Professional Photographers of America. She’s had a camera attached to one hand and a coffee cup attached to the other for over 30 years and in 2018 she decided to periodically set the coffee cup down in order to manage a bee smoker. She began her photography career in the late 1980’s. One of her first professional jobs as a photographer was for the California Optometric Association. She was asked to photograph Folsom Prison (yep, the same one Johnny Cash sang about) for a story about the prisoners’ role in eyeglass production. Over the years her work has been used by the National Audubon Society, Estée Lauder, Kubota, FleishmanHillard and, as of 2021, her work is featured in the GBA “Save the Honey Bee” license plate campaign.
