The starting point for any work of art is the artist. The power of the artist's idea and the skill in developing that concept are the ingredients for a memorable work of art. An oil artist appears to begin with that proverbial blank canvas - but truly begins with a vision of the finished work, the idea. Similarly, a photographic artist has a vision of the desired final image; Wayne Hill also practices what Ansel Adams called "previsualization", and wishes he could do it half as successfully!

Wayne has invested many years learning to read the light, exploring the rules of composition, discovering the behavior of equipment, and optimizing the potential of film. This classical training and field experience accounts for the excellence in his art, and prepares him to create his next image.  Browse these galleries, with more than 585 images created in 46 states and 24 countries.  Enjoy!
