Tree Photography Prints

Trees are among the most photographed subjects in nature — and among the most difficult to photograph as well. A tree is never just a tree. In fact I am about to write a blog post to present my theory that trees have faces. I've photographed enough of them to learn that they are only photogenic from one particular angle. As if they also have a face like a human does.

And whether it's a lone cypress on a coastal bluff weathering three hundred years of Pacific wind. Or it's a bristlecone pine clinging to a Sierra Nevada ridge at 11,000 feet that was already 3000 yeas old when the Roman Empire fell. Or it's a famous Japanese maple in October whose color makes photographers fly in from all over the world so they can stand in line for 30 minutes just take few photos of it. Finding and capturing that beauty across in a single photograph is the challenge that makes tree photography worth pursuing.

In this tree collection I've gathered some of finest trees from across the West (with exception of one so far- Lone oak tree in upstate New York while exploring that part of the country). Some of them include: California redwoods towering in Northern California, oak and lone cypress tress along the Pacific Coast, groves of yellow autumn aspens in Colorado, Eastern Sierra and Pacific Northwest, Bristlecone pines in White Mountains, orchards of almonds of Central California, Manzanita tree, as well as iconic Joshua trees.

The search for photogenic trees never ends. Everywhere I go, my eyes are always open and scanning for that magical composition to capture yet another one. I hope it never stops. The thrill of finding one, especially one that no one else has photographed is the most rewarding feeling for a landscape photographer. Or at least for me it is. 

Tree wall art from this collection fits into homes with several interior designs — from rustic and farmhouse styles where wood and nature are central design elements, to minimalist contemporary spaces where a single bold tree image provides the room's focal point. All prints are signed limited editions and printed on TruLife acrylic-mounted surface. Each print comes with Certificate of Authenticity signed by me personally. While tree photography serves as category of its own. Trees will always be part of all other forms of  landscape photography cause I'm yet to see a landscape out there that doesn't have trees in it somewhere, unless you're in the dunes or some desert! If you enjoy trees in vibrant colors also visit Jongas' Pacific Northwest Photography collection.
