Whoa… it has felt like a frozen tundra here in East TN. Can I get a witness? Although we only managed a meager 1/4 inch of snow, I’ve been strategically avoiding outside, thus rescheduling photo shoots more often than not. I figure family shoots where everyone is bundled up like Randy Parker (Ralphie’s little brother from the movie “The Christmas Story”) isn’t the look we’re going for.
So… I thought it would be an ideal time for me to introduce & showcase some of my Fine Art photography. I’ve had tons (not literally tons, but alot!) of inquiries about whether my work was for sale & up until this point, I’ve often avoided the question. I’m not sure I can explain it, but I develop such a connection with certain images that it’s hard to put a price on them.
But, it is one of my personal & business goals to make these prints available to the public. Besides my dream of working for National Geographic, I’ve always wanted to outfit a hotel, restaurant, hospital, or the like with nature, landscape or regional photos that inspire employees & those who visit. But, I also want to make these prints available to people like you who are looking to provide a fresh look to a room in your home or simply want to make an investment in fine art.
When I first started doing photography, I cut my teeth (so to speak) shooting landscape & travel photos. It is still what many are first drawn to in my work. The lessons I learned during this foundational time forever influences all my photography, including weddings & portrait shoots. When composing an image, I am constantly looking for patterns in nature & how people interact with these types of settings. Some of my favorite photos portray the subjects as being a part of a larger picture. Because really, aren’t we all a part of a larger picture!?
This post features a few of my most popular “fine art” photos. I hope to have a site dedicated to these images soon, but in the meantime, if you are interested in purchasing a print, shoot me an email. I will respond & provide you with a pricing list. Or, if you fall into the category of someone who is buying several prints for a business (or home) or would like to hire me specifically for a project, I’d love to sit down for a brief consultation.
