Sunrise from Kuwohi, formerly Clingmans Dome, a sea of clouds filling the valleys of the Great Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee.

Wildlife & Landscapes, Rooted in Tennessee

Scroll

I photograph the wild corners of East Tennessee at first light: ridgelines, hidden waterfalls, and whitetails moving through the fog. It's where nearly all of my work begins, though now and then a trip takes me somewhere new. Nearly every print is a place I stood before sunrise and loved every minute.

Every image is available as a fine-art print that's ready to hang, ranging in size from small prints for a quiet corner to gallery pieces that hold a room. If you have a question about a piece, or you want help choosing a size for your space, please reach out.

The sun rises over Amelia Island, Florida, on a quiet morning where the dunes give way to open water. It's a long way from the mountains, but it's worth the trip.
