James H Egbert
James H Egbert is a fine art nature and landscape photographer and a fourth-generation Colorado native. Inspired by Ansel Adams, his background as a musician informs his approach to capturing the unique beauty of the natural landscape.
Before becoming a photographer, Egbert was a musician, a background that informs his approach to both the camera and post-production. Like Adams, he embraces evolving technologies to expand artistic expression. His experience as a photojournalist in broadcast news further shaped his perspective, instilling in him the importance of storytelling in every image he creates.
Nature acts as both his canvas and muse, transforming landscapes into emotional narratives. Through the interplay of light and shadow, he explores the delicate balance between serenity and chaos, revealing the stories that unfold in the natural world. Each scene, whether a sunset over rocky formations or the stillness of a snowy expanse, invites viewers to pause and reflect.
He is captivated by the raw beauty of the environment, capturing moments that resonate with the human experience. The colors and textures he chooses are not merely aesthetic; they embody feelings of nostalgia, wonder, and introspection. Influenced by the poetry of the world around him, his work aims to evoke a sense of belonging and contemplation, encouraging viewers to find their own narratives within the landscapes he presents.
