What We Do

This has not happened on purpose, it has been a process of discovering my natural passions and inclinations are when it comes to capturing beauty. I have found that work tends to be broken into four separate categories.

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime. – Mark Twain

Our purpose is to see the world and be changed by the experience. Then we intend to bring all the beauty and interesting experiences that we encounter to you so that you can see what a remarkable world we live in.

Landscape Photography

I have determined that the best landscape photography comes from being out when “normal” people are not. What that means is that you are out very early, very late, in stormy weather or when it is colder that most humans find enjoyable.

General Process of Our Works

Many people have asked me, how do you produce such amazing work? These are the basis steps used to come to a final product.

Concept

My best work comes from images first painted in my mind. I mull over a prospective image for weeks or months, seeing it from different angles and perspectives, then finally deciding what to capture, I take action. The result is images that deeply touch a person’s emotions and powerfully evoke memories and dreams.

Prepare

Light is always the magic ingredient that makes for a great image so if I am going to be photographing a landscape, cityscape or some architecture I also need to plan for the perfect light. That means watching weather conditions, knowing where the sun is going to be and then finally watching for clouds, smoke, haze or other conditions that will make an image powerful and unique.

There are times where is makes sense to just be ready for that opportunity when amazing conditions come even when I was not expecting them. The bottom line is planning and flexibility make for the best opportunities to capture amazing images. So I have learned to always be ready with all of the needed equipment to capture that image that I have been planning for so long.

Retouch

Photoshop is an indispensable tool for the professional photographer. It is true I take great pains to capture the perfect image the first time but there are always items in an image that must be removed or enhanced to make the image perfect. Remember this is photographic art not photographing a crime scene. Photography is art not reality.

The steps in retouching are:

  • Remove Distractions
  • Enhance Color and/or Contrast
  • Crop to perfect size

Finalize

The final step is to determine what format the image would look best as a displayed work of art. This step includes determine if it would be best on canvas or as a framed image. If it will be framed, what is the ideal size and what are the most stunning matting and framing options. I have gone through this work for most of my images and have made recommendations for you at the online store. There are examples of what we have found to work best and present the work as stunning art.
