Robert Glenn Ketchum, a fellow with the International League of Conservation Photographers, was featured in the March/April issue of American Photo magazine as the fifth photographer to appear in the publication's Masters Series. To date, Ketchum is the only photographer in the series whose imagery is based mostly on the natural world rather than on people, fashion and pop culture.

At the same time, Ketchum's recent work to protect the salmon fishery and related habitat of southwest Alaska has also just been acknowledged by a Partnerships in Conservation Award from U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar.
