There is boundless beauty in our natural environment, from the intimate view of a blade of grass to the vast panoramic horizon. We need only show up with our cameras! But, how do we translate our personal visions of the natural world, through our photographic tools, and then to our audience?

Each of our relationships to nature is highly personal – we want to see yours. From the tonal depths of an Ansel Adams expansive environment, to the quiet pictorial gestures of an Edward Steichen moment, to contemporary masters’ views, such as our Juror George DeWolfe, who’s contemplative designs on natural beauty insight envy and inspiration. We’re looking for the kind of variety that is in nature herself. Sky’s the limit using contemporary methods, photographic paraphernalia, and a limitless bag of tricks, so whether your landscapes display a traditional approach, leave us questioning reality, or all that is in between, we can’t wait to see your version of this heaven we call Earth.
