Maria Rebelo and Cora Jacobs

Teaches at The Morton Arboretum

A photographer since 2000, Rebelo’s photographic interests lie in the beauty of the overlooked and the magic of light. She explores smaller things in life, looking at the delicate shapes of nature’s organic forms and how they are enlarged and enhanced through macro photography and the use of specialized lenses.

Cora Jacobs is both a nature and street photographer. She has been teaching at The Morton Arboretum since 2012. She is a member of the Morton Arboretum Photographic Society. She also teaches magazine production at Columbia College Chicago.
