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 an archival 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.

First light reached the Roan Highlands while the valleys were still full of fog. A quiet camp sat on the bald, waiting for the sun.

Hidden Falls
East Tennessee

A quiet waterfall in the East Tennessee backcountry that was caught in soft morning light on a long exposure. Some places are worth keeping a little secret.

The view from Kuwohi, the highest point in the Smokies, as a sea of clouds fills the valleys below at first light. Long known as Clingmans Dome, the peak carries its restored Cherokee name, meaning “mulberry place.”

A still morning in Cades Cove, fog drifting through the tree line as the sun climbs over the ridge. This is why people get there before dawn.
