John Morris Photography

A photograph should evoke a strong emotion, recall a cherished memory, or stir a deep longing from within your soul. Photography is both a science and an art. It is both technical and aesthetic. Landscape & Travel photography requires a mastery of technique, a natural eye, and a personal style. It can be learned or self-taught, trained, or innate, an artistic sense. Landscape & Travel Photography requires persistence and spontaneity, planning and flexibility, discipline and creativity, and yes, a lot of walking and a bit of luck.

As cliché as it sounds, photography has always been a part of my life. I got my start on my lifelong love & journey in photography with my first camera given to me by my father when I was 12-years-old.

I have always had a love of learning, a jones for history, a need to be outdoors and a desire to travel. Landscape & Travel Photography is the perfect discipline that brings them all together for me.

I enjoy mountain biking, kayaking, travel, and anything else that challenges me. I’m a decent  cook and foodie and find the connection between food and travel to be an important way to really get to know a new place. In fact, if I wasn’t a landscape & travel photographer, I’d probably own a roadside diner or food truck and be a short-order breakfast cook. Fortunately, I earned my commercial photography degree instead and took the creative route with no regrets. -John

[tab_element name=”Landscape Photography”]Capturing long rows of winter trees lining empty fields of farmland. To this day, winter inspires me to want to shoot, activating some inner muse that stimulates my creative jones. But I also see natural beauty in grand vistas and small details. Landscape photography embodies my ‘chase the light” mentality and despite hours and days of patient disappointment and miles of endless walking, scoring that big scenic, or capturing a one of a kind grand sunset, that is what the chase is all about.

[tab_element name=”Cityscapes”]Man-made structures have always attracted me photographically. In fact, my first award was an image of a grain silo entered into a scholastic art competition. I am drawn by the colors and textures, parallels and angles, the juxtaposition of old and new, glass and concrete, and the harmony of nature and man. We are after all a product of the natural world. A fact we forget sometimes.

[tab_element name=”Seascapes”]Seascapes are a new love of mine. Just something about the sounds of the waves, the fresh smells, and a variety of light that transforms the ocean as it passed before my lens.  Admittingly, I also just like to be near the water in the morning. It’s peaceful, calm, and other Zen shit like that. On the mornings where the light isn’t particularly great, I just get to enjoy the walk. Of course, a part of me feels unproductive, but at the end of the day, I have nothing but positive vibes about being there.

[tab_element name=”Travel & Art”] A new journey allowing my eye and my vision to lead me to create images for myself and hopefully images that others will find invokes an emotion, feeling or memory that they can experience for themselves as they view my images for the first time.

[/tab_element]

[tab_element name=”San Diego”]San Diego is a magical mixture of Landscapes, Seascapes and Cityscapes and I return again and again to the same locations always finding something different. [/tab_element]

[tab_element name=”So This is My Journey”]Wow, another cliche. (At least I didn’t call it my passion).[/tab_element]
