I am a landscape photographer in the Southwest USA who works with digital medium-format technical camera systems. Growing up in Southern Utah, I love being out in nature. I've had the desire for a long time to capture special scenes I would encounter while visiting National Parks or exploring my home state. Photography has been an interest of mine throughout my adult life as a hobby. It wasn't until around 2023 that I became more serious, which coincided with learning to photograph and print paintings while working closely with my friend and oil painter, Matt Pectol, to help him run his print business. This working relationship led me to interact and make friendships with many local artists. It really built up my love for art in general and the local communities that form around sharing and making art of all kinds.
In my work, I seek to photograph instances of the beautiful way that color, light, shapes, and atmospheric phenomena interact in an ever-changing world. I am very passionate about photography and printing as an honest representation of witnessed events while still allowing for artistic freedom in editing to convey the emotional response experienced while in the field. On the technical side, I accomplish this by using a technical camera that allows perspective correction and multi-row panorama imaging, paired with lenses that have focal lengths and characteristics that naturally render the landscape's proportions. I prefer the slow, contemplative pace that working with this type of system requires. And the images, for me, have a special feel to them.
Prints
My editing is with a final print in mind and optimized for printing on archival-rated Baryta cotton rag papers, my preferred substrate. I personally proof each limited-edition print I sell. Final printing is also handled by me for all sizes up 44" on the short side of the image if printed on paper. I list the max image size next to each photo in my portfolio. If a size larger than I can handle, or a print substrate that I don't personally offer, is required, I'd be more than happy to coordinate the printing through a print shop. Framing can, of course, also be arranged. If you are interested in talking options, please reach out through my contact form. Each print will come signed and numbered by me, and will also include a certificate of authenticity.
I only print and sell limited-edition prints, typically in an edition of 1. Outside of the edition print, 1 printer's proof, which is smaller than the final print, and 1 artist proof at the final size or near the final size will be made. Both the printer's proof and artist's proof will be in my personal collection, but may be released for sale or given away if I choose to do so at a later date.
