Featured Professional: Craig Blacklock

This week's featured professional photographer is Craig Blacklock.


















Blacklock's photography is a bit of a departure for me, as he focuses most of his work on Lake Superior and the area, not the west or desert southwest. His images can be divided into at least three categories: Lake Superior shots, horizons, and intimate nature scenes. His intimate nature scenes are what I enjoy the most about his work, though many of his Lake Superior shots do an amazing job of communicating the power of the lake.

I enjoy his intimate scenes, or wilderness portraits as I think of them, quite a bit. They give us a glimpse into the inner nature of the natural world, just as a good human portrait gives us a glimpse into their nature. They show us more about the character of the natural world.

As mentioned above, Blacklock also has a series, and even a book, of photographs devoted solely to horizons. It is an interesting subject and surprising how many unique photos you can get of the horizon.
