Samantha Fischer/SDF Photography proudly announces her inaugural solo show, “Not To Be Missed . . .”, taking place at the Lambertville Free Public Library. The opening night reception is on January 29, from 6:00 to 8:30 PM, and will provide an opportunity to meet the artist and discuss her work one on one. Featured in her first-ever career solo exhibition will be more than twenty works of photography on metal and numerous prints, encompassing iconic images, fan favorites and new work, premiering at this exhibition. All work will be available for purchase on site (special opening night pricing will be on offer).

Fischer explains that “Not To Be Missed . . .” reflects on how being in nature, observing birds and other wildlife, has become a great passion for the photographer. She states that, “With today’s stressful climate of screens, noise, and news, birding is an elixir which instantly compels me to focus on the moment. A flash of bright color against the green leaves or blue sky piques my interest and curiosity, and if I get to capture the bird in my camera, I consider myself extremely lucky. I hope my images allow the viewer into that ephemeral moment that nature has allowed me to capture. I also hope my images evoke empathy towards the wildlife which surrounds us. Their behavior, resourcefulness, resilience, and especially their profound beauty, certainly put them in the category of not to be missed.”

Samantha Fischer is a Brooklyn born and raised, twenty-eight year teacher in the NYC Board of Education, turned wildlife and landscape photographer. She has been featured twice in the prestigious photography journal, F-Stop Magazine (here and here), featured in Occhi Magazine (here), and has had her work featured in juried exhibits, including the 2024 Phillips Mill Juried Art Show, “Artful Sundays” at the Hunterdon Art Museum, the 2025 New Hope Arts & Crafts Festival, and various Brooklyn Popup Arts Festivals, among many others.

Fischer began seriously photographing birds during the pandemic, while viewing the famous Barred Owl of Central Park, “Barry,” along with a gaggle of other photographers and onlookers. Fischer has since photographed over 400 different species of birds in all their glory, amassing over tens of thousands of images across the United States and abroad. Fischer has an ulterior motive with her bird photography; she aims to document our fine feathered friends in an artistic fashion, in order to foster a greater awareness and appreciation for birds in her audience, and to nurture a greater appreciation and love for nature in general.

Fischer chose Lambertville, NJ to stage her first solo exhibition as the town is near and dear to her heart. The photographer has been traveling to Hunterdon and Bucks Counties, with her husband, for over twenty-five years (they were engaged on the Lambertville-New Hope Bridge on New Year’s Day in 1999). Fischer elaborated, “This part of the world is my home away from home, I have made many lasting friendships here, and have captured many images in Hunterdon and Bucks Counties. The area has been endlessly inspiring to me, so it truly is a huge honor to have my first solo exhibition at the Lambertville Free Public Library.”
