Recently I was asked to display some of my Fine Art Photography at a gallery in Cedaredge, Colorado. Currently, I have six prints on display for sale.

Three of the prints are wildlife. The other three include blood moon, San Francisco carousel with a creative rendering, and one of my favorites is a hippie sitting at the corner of Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco, California.

This is the first gallery showing of my photography in many years. The gallery is located in a large building known as the Appleshed, which has a café and wine tasting along with many high-quality galleries of photography.

These prints represent my previous photography style. I knew that when I moved to Colorado and especially in the mountains that I would dramatically change my photography approach and style. Given the geographical area that I now live in, I will continue to photograph diverse wildlife and nature, including lakes, mountains, rivers, and landscape.

I want to photograph subjects that stimulate curiosity, emotions, and wonderment. This includes people in nature, wildlife and birds in action, and trees and flowers from an unusual perspective, and much more.

I am a wildlife, nature, and humanitarian photographer living in the small charming mountain town of Cedaredge, Colorado. I teach aspiring wildlife photographers on how to respect and photograph wildlife without intrusion. I photograph to be surprised and delighted. For over fifty years, I continue to embrace the essence of each wildlife in my images! People tell me that I photograph with an artist’s eye. I believe that it comes from my naturalist’s heart.

Recently, a number of people interested in photography viewed my images on my website at http://www.stephenbrunophotography.com/ or noticed my photographs hanging on my wall at home and asked me if I could teach a small casual affordable class on the fundamentals of photography with an emphasis on wildlife, nature, people and landscape.

Although I already teach both half-day and all-day photography field workshops, I wanted to support those interested in photography by agreeing to teach a photography class in my home. The advantage of a class over the workshop is that without distractions, we can focus on the techniques, approaches, and fundamentals in a comfortable setting where you can take notes and easily ask many questions. There are no weather or temperature restrictions and no strenuous hiking. I do live next to an area of nature with a variety of critters and photography opportunities in case the class is interested in briefly practicing what we discuss.

I have a different perspective on teaching a photography class. Drawing on my writing, art, and photography background my teaching emphasis is more on spontaneous natural creativity rather than systematic technology. I believe that it is the craft of ‘process,’ that creates the art of photography. Regardless of the technical acumen, your camera cannot tell you what to include in your composition.

No matter how advanced your camera is, it cannot create a connection with your subject nor show you when to press the shutter button. I have a very relaxed, yet aware personal teaching style. This allows me to be present with each participant since I do not have an agenda or itinerary to follow. I do want to inspire your passion, vision, and creativity and motivate you to become the photographer that you desire to be. I want to encourage your photographic inquiries. I want to share knowledge in an easy, flowing, uncomplicated manner. Show you how to see through the eyes of an artist. Continue reading →
