Hi there! I’m Mark Riffee. Thanks for checking out my photographs. They mean a lot to me—I hope they made you feel something too. When I visit the places where I capture these images, I lose myself for days, wandering through canyons, hiking through forests, walking ridge lines. My photographs express a combination of what I see and what I feel as I search for a subject, identify a composition, and observe the ways light and shadow spotlight and cloak the landscape. The images you’ll find here on my website depict many of my most peaceful, exhilarating, contemplative, and uncertain moments I’ve experienced in nature. I wouldn’t trade these moments, or the opportunities to photograph them, for anything.

DM @markriffeephoto on Instagram if you’d like to purchase a print or talk nature photography.
