Gathered Light: A Vision of Connection, Conservation, and Creativity

Photography is more than an art form—it is a way of seeing, of understanding, of preserving the world around us. Gathered Light was born from the belief that images have the power to educate, inspire, and create change.

This vision extends across the entire Gathered Light ecosystem:

• Gathered Light Gallery showcases fine art photography that deepens our connection to nature and humanity.
• Gathered Light Publishing produces meaningful books that celebrate photography, conservation, and the stories that matter.
• Gathered Light Magazine brings together visual storytelling, environmental awareness, and artistic excellence in print.
• Gathered Light Photography offers fine art printing and photographic services that honor the craft of image-making.

These endeavors are built on a lifelong reverence for the natural world, shaped by personal experience. Growing up, my early exposure to Ranger Rick magazine sparked a deep fascination with conservation, storytelling, and photography, an influence that has guided me ever since. Beyond that, the wilderness became more than just a source of inspiration; it was a place of refuge, healing, and connection. In the mountains, forests, and oceans, I found peace, adventure, and a profound sense of belonging, something I lacked elsewhere. The natural world has given me clarity, purpose, and a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of life.

Through Gathered Light, I seek to pass that same sense of wonder, respect, and responsibility to others.

This is more than a magazine, a gallery, or a publishing house, it is a mission. It is a call to slow down, to see the world with clarity and care, and to recognize that we are all connected. By illuminating the stories of our planet and its people, we empower action and preserve what matters most.
