Late this November, after a long day of photography in North Alabama, I packed up my gear, hoisted my pack and began the hike to my car. I had not gone far along the river bank when I noticed these maple leaves. They were on a small sapling growing out from the boulders near the rivers edge. I stopped, dropped my pack and set up the tripod again. The right composition wasn’t readily visible and I found myself working around the leaves until I settled on this composition. Sometimes just telling myself that I am done for the day releases my creativity and I see images I might otherwise have walked past. Often I find that I start back down the trail and spot something else to photograph over and over again all the way back. A thirty minute hike can turn into an hour and a half without even being aware of the passing of time.

You know you are doing something you love when you can’t stop. No matter how tired and hungry you are….

Fine art photographs of nature can make powerful statements as single images.

They are often the focal point of interest for an entire room. Bringing together images that work as sets or groupings is also an effective way to extend the ambiance and flow of nature images throughout a design.
When choosing photographs to be used as sets or groupings it is a good idea to select images that have a common theme and color. The theme can extend to patterns and textures as well as subject. The theme can extend to patterns and textures as well as subject. It is even more striking if they have a common style and feel. This often means working with one photographic artist for the entire set. I have had many instances where all of the images were shot on the same day and even represent different compositions of the same subject.

Above and below are a couple of very popular groupings that we have helped our clients with.

I was recently honored to be interviewed by Cindy Sanders of the Nashville Medical News in regards to the use of nature photography in healthcare facilities.

“….the calming benefits of artwork extend beyond patient rooms and treatment or diagnostic areas. Indeed, he noted, nurses and physicians are also subjected to high-stress environments, and evidence shows providers benefit from the soothing effects of nature photography … particularly when a window to the outside isn’t feasible for a workstation. Ultimately, Jorjorian said, he has always believed nature and nature photography were essential to a person’s sense of wellbeing. “To have the evidence begin to back that up and then see its acceptance in healthcare facilities is even more rewarding for me…..”
