Featured Artist: Stephen Ingram
|
|
Stephen Ingram is a writer and photographer who specializes in photography of botanical subjects, California native plant gardens, cloud formations, and desert and mountain landscapes. He has been photographing nature subjects for over 30 years, and has lived in the Eastern Sierra since 1994. Although Stephen photographs primarily plants and landscapes, he has focused more on abstracts and clouds over the past few years. He has also shifted to printing his images on metal, canvas, or acrylic surfaces that can accentuate contrast and texture in certain subjects.
|
|
Stephen’s first book, Cacti, Agaves and Yuccas of California and Nevada, was published by Cachuma Press in 2008, and revised in 2017. More recently, Stephen collaborated with author Cathy Rose for Rock Creek Wildflowers, a field guide to 125 plants in Little Lakes Valley, which was published in 2015. Stephen and Cathy are currently working on a similar book, Bristlecone Forest Wildflowers. His photos have also been published in numerous other books, calendars, field guides, local tourist brochures, note cards, and in magazines. You can see more of his photography at www.ingramphoto.com or on his Facebook page.
