James Lorentson PNW Nature Photography

Your guide to PNW nature photography: tutorials, gear reviews & vlogs.

I'm James, a Pacific Northwest landscape (most of the time), macro (sometimes), and wildlife (occasionally) photographer passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience. Enjoy in-depth tutorials, gear reviews, location inspiration, and insights to help you capture the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and grow as an artist.

I believe:
- nature photography is a journey of self-discovery fueled by our connection to the raw power of nature.
- through photography, we can all cultivate a stronger bond with the natural world.
- an artist is waiting to be unleashed within each of us.
- nature isn't just a subject; it's our teacher guiding us through the light and shadows of our artistic journey.
- in sharing knowledge openly and empowering others to capture the beauty they see in the world.
- in simplifying the complex and empowering other photographers to master photography's technical and artistic sides.
