Phillip Noll
Los Alamos, New MexicoPhillip has been photographing the natural world for over forty years. He worked mainly with 35mm film for many years and eventually graduated to medium and large format photography. However, with the onset of the digital revolution, Phillip switched from film to full-frame professional digital cameras and powerful post-processing programs. Programs like Photoshop put Phillip in control of the entire process of making beautiful images and digital cameras allowed for unlimited experimentation. He's never had any formal training in photography so that experimentation was critical to helping him sharpen his instincts and develop his skills.
Phillip holds a Ph.D. in Geology and has worked in the academic and environmental remediation and protection arenas. This background and training have proven to be immensely helpful in locating unusual landscapes to photograph. So many grand landscapes owe their existence to geological processes. Phillip finds the art of geology to be a natural extension of the science of geology.
Phillip has won numerous awards in international photography competitions and has been published in Arizona Highways, Nature's Best Photography, Backpacker Magazine, Outdoor Photographer, and others. Today Phillip produces stunning fine art photographs sought after by collectors.
"I hope you enjoy my photographs and that they inspire you to help protect our beautiful wild places." -Phillip Noll
