Roger Shafer

I aspire to be a fine art nature photographer. I pursue the creation of images to share the experience of a place, or a feeling, or a mood. Or to express a thought or condition.

The creation of an image is a process for me. It usually starts with an image I visualize, or a feeling I want to express. While “in the field” I tend to move slowly; I pay attention to the lighting, the clouds, the colors around me; and how I feel about what I’m seeing. While composing an image I get completely immersed in what I’m doing. I get lost “in the zone”. When I’m back in the comfort of my home office/studio, I process the images with the same slow, contemplative approach. I am in love with the whole image-creating process – from visualization to final completion.
