Dana Echols Photography - Dana Echols

Since boyhood, I have been fascinated by nature, especially birds. I studied zoology and ornithology in college but developed a true love of nature through the lens of a camera. As I developed my artistic vision as a young photographer, I had the great fortune to study with some of photography’s true masters, including Ansel Adams and William Neill in Carmel, California. These visionaries gave me tools, skills and insight into the artistry of photography that have guided me throughout my career. My life as a photographer has become an exploration of the intimacy of nature, focusing on design, lines, texture, and color. As a result, most of my photographs are full of detail, revealing the personality of the place in that moment.
