Classic Landscape Photography
Landscape Photography must demonstrate not only mastery of craft and technique but also a mastery of vision and expression.

Doug will share elements of photographic craft, technique and the “whys” essential to landscape photography and making high-quality large landscape prints for high-end sales and PPA (Profession Photographers of America) competition entries in his March 8th presentation for Evergreen Camera Club.

Then Doug will move to the heart of landscape photography … the goal of communicating your emotions and artistic vision in an image. Ansel Adams had it right when he said, “Photograph not only what you see, but also what you feel.” Great photography is about making images that connect with viewers; making them feel something about the subject. Doug will share techniques to make your imagery communicate more, as well as explore the unconscious psychological factors to create appealing landscape photography.

Doug’s love for landscape photography traces back to his childhood and family sightseeing vacations touring the western U.S. and Canada by car. These early experiences were further fueled by his father’s subscription to “Arizona Highways” magazine, always leaving him in awe with its beautiful scenic images, particularly those of Josef Muench.

Doug has been a PPA member since 2011, earned his Master’s Degree from PPA in 2014, his Craftsman’s Degree in 2015 and the Imaging Excellence Award in 2015. Doug was also named a PPA “Diamond Photographer of the Year” in 2014 and 2015. He and his wife, Laura, live in Colorado Springs.
