Nature Scenery, Landscape Photos, Travel Photography
by Steve Krieg - Stephen Krieg PhotoGraphics
Evocative Landscape Photos, Nature Scenery, Wilderness, and Travel Stock Photos, and Fine Art Photo Prints
Landscape photos and exquisite images
of nature from a master of the art. Enjoy images made during countless
days afield from New England to the Rockies and Cascades, then north to
Alaska. Climb to the Continental Divide in Colorado, live for a season
out on the wild North Atlantic on Nantucket Island, descend to the
bottom of the Grand Canyon, or spend an alpine night deep in the heart
of the North Cascades.
Natural Beauty and Inspiration
Feel the power and grandeur of nature,
from a towering mountain summit to the exquisite details of a
wildflower, a leaf, waving wands of meadow grasses, or a forest
waterfall. Explore landscape photos of sunsets and sunrises, trees and
forests, mountains, canyons and deserts, waterfalls, lighthouses, and
the glowing, stunning richness of black and white photography.
Photographic Approach
Steve Krieg is a dedicated artist of
landscape photos, a naturalist, and an environmentalist with a solid
grounding in the biological sciences, primarily through his degree and
experience in forestry and countless wilderness miles with a backpack
on his shoulders. For him, photography still evokes the original
meaning of the word: "drawing with light." As Edward Weston said, "Light forms the image." It forms
the image in the mind and heart and hands of a master photographer. And
as Ansel Adams was fond of saying, "The negative is the score; the
print is the performance." In this age of electronic 'film' and digital
photography and giclee printing, the fundamentals hold as true as ever.
Black & white photography allows us to appreciate many details that
we miss when distracted by the vibrant colors of our natural vision. In
this way it helps us to look further, wonder more, and feel more deeply.
In black and white photos, dark tones
form an underlying velvety base from which the middle tones and high
tones shine and shimmer. Light reflects from stone walls and cliffs,
spreads and diffuses to fill shadows with detail, or illuminates water
and ice.
