Technical Approach

Medium format digital capture provides exceptional image quality for contemporary landscape work. Larger sensors record more detail and wider dynamic range than full-frame cameras, approaching the quality of traditional large format film. The workflow combines the precision of digital capture with the image quality that demanding prints require.

Location & Subject

The American landscape offers endless variety for the patient photographer. Understanding how light, weather, and season interact with terrain allows meaningful interpretation of natural scenes. Each location presents unique challenges and rewards, requiring technical skill and artistic vision to translate three-dimensional experience into compelling two-dimensional photographs. Black and white photography distills landscapes to their essential elements—form, texture, light, and shadow. Without color to guide the eye, tonal relationships become paramount. Zone System techniques, developed by Ansel Adams for large format film, provide systematic control over these relationships from exposure through printing. The resulting images possess a timeless quality that color photography rarely achieves.
