Imagine standing where the image was made

Landscape photography from Utah, the desert Southwest, West Texas and the Great Smoky Mountains.

The work

I photograph iconic national parks and remote backcountry roads so you feel like you are standing where I stood when I made the frame. Each image is a realistic HDR rendering of the scene as my eyes saw it.

Monument Valley, Utah and Arizona

Monument Valley Viewpoint

Three sandstone buttes rise from the desert floor in warm, low light under a pale blue sky. A dirt road curves through the foreground toward the formations.

A pale sandstone fin with a natural double arch towers over juniper and sagebrush. Clouds drift across a deep blue sky.

Smoky Mountain Cascades

A mountain stream steps down mossy boulders in soft, silky water. Green rhododendron and trees frame the scene, with warm light on the far bank.

How I work

Backcountry access

My 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser takes me to roads and trailheads that other vehicles cannot reach, in any conditions.

Camp-based fieldwork

I would rather camp in the wilderness than stay in a hotel. Time on location shapes how I see each scene.

Realistic HDR

HDR is my preferred method, used to show the scene the way my eyes saw it, not to exaggerate it.
