I love the idea of creating a landscape photograph that is a portrait of a place, that tells a story of what it is like to visit there, and what feelings it instills in the viewer. I also love the idea of capturing a moment in time that will never happen again. I am fortunate to be able to travel to places that inspire me and share finished photographs with people who also love the outdoors, particularly majestic landscapes.
My goal is to create landscape photographs that draw you in; that help you to feel what it was like to visit the place.
A long path started as an amateur photographer way back in high school, then jobs in advertising and marketing, including shooting catalog product photography. I started doing weddings – for about 10 years, then moved onto teaching portrait posing and lighting. Finally, I realized my ultimate goal of being a full-time Landscape Photographer and Teacher.
For anyone who makes prints of their work, color workflow is critical to ensure consistent and repeatable results. Otherwise, you are guessing and leaving the final results to chance – something that often fails.
I recently switched over to cameras from OM Systems. Before that, I shot Fujifilm, Sony (I was a member of Sony’s Artisans Group), Canon, Nikon, Phase One, and Leaf. I also enjoy working with both Epson and Canon printers, and a handful of paper manufacturers including Ilford.
Two successful, well-adjusted, and happy children.
I am also a musician, playing piano, guitar, and wind instruments. I compose my own music and I am currently working on an album. I also paint with watercolors. In my spare time, I write working (on a sci-fi novel right now) and I still pursue training in the martial arts, where I currently hold black belts in two different styles.
Shoot for yourself. If the images you create make you smile, then you are a successful photographer.
