Featured Professional: Daryl Benson

I haven't featured a professional photographer on the blog in a while, so I thought it would be nice to put the spotlight on someone who isn't strictly a landscape photographer, like Daryl Benson.






















Mr. Benson takes what I think of as unique landscapes. A lot of photographers who shoot landscape-myself included-take traditional shots that use a foreground element, such as rocks or wildflowers, a background of mountains or hills, and a mid-ground of trees or a lake or valley, with a sunset or cloud pattern in the sky. Many of my favorite landscapes follow this pattern. Mr. Benson plays with that standard a little and comes out with some amazing shots, like any good landscape photographer will. His work reminds me a little of Jim Brandenburg.



















Mr. Benson isn't just a landscape photographer. His site features his impressive portfolio of landscape and travel photos. Check them out.
