Thank you for visiting my my website.

My Name is Michael Petersen and this site was created to introduce you to my fine art photography and photographic services.
     
My passion is for fine art landscape photography, and I take great pride in being a photographer who takes advantage of all the latest and greatest developments.
Beyond that, however, I distinguish myself by always demanding more of my work and by seeking to capture the natural world with high levels of vigor and imagination.
Of course, nothing is the same in the digital era as it was before.
From the tools that I use to the techniques that define my work, I am operating on a distinctly modern plane. I am never exactly sure where reality ends and my imagination begins, and I like it that way.
Although I am intent on preserving the integrity of reality in my work, I am also eager to get as creative as possible in order to tell these stories in images more fully. When I get behind my camera, I am really getting in front of my canvas.

This is the way that I create my art, spotting an image that I want to make my own and then angling the lens just right, snapping the shutter at the perfect moment, and using advanced processing software to manipulate the image into something that fits my vision. I do this, of course, for you, my audience.
If you are happy with my work, then I am happy too.

I also offer workshops, tuition and photographic tours, contact me for details
