About the artist
Welcome to the world behind the lens of DMN Photography. Discover my story as a landscape artist based in Seven Lakes, North Carolina, and my journey to capture the quiet beauty of the world. Learn about my passion, adventures, and the peace I seek to share through fine art photography.
The journey begins
My greatest joy comes from exploring unique and often hidden places throughout our state—and beyond—capturing the world’s quiet beauty through my lens. Every image I create is a moment in time, a reflection of what I felt and experienced that day, so you can see the scene as I saw it—real, vivid, and alive.
From kodak to fine art
Blessed with my mother’s artistic spirit, I discovered photography at a young age. My journey began in 1978 with my very first camera, a Kodak X15F. From that moment, I was captivated by how light, shadow, and emotion could come together in a single frame. Over the years, I immersed myself in the craft—photographing engagement portraits, weddings, seniors, and families, both in the studio and under open skies—to refine my technical skills and creative vision.
A celebration of nature
My work is a celebration of the natural world and the peace it offers those who pause to truly see it. I aim to reach individuals who seek peace, perspective, and authenticity in a world that often moves too fast. Many of them long to bring a sense of calm and wonder into their homes or workspaces, or to reconnect with memories of a place that once stirred their spirit.
