Fine Art and Stock Nature Photography
Terry Livingstone is a nature photographer with over 30 years of experience. His powerful images appear worldwide in numerous calendars, books, magazines, advertisements, etc. His publication credits include Audubon, Outdoor Photographer, Outside, National Audubon Society Field Guides, and Sierra Club Books, to name just a few.
Like many photographers, Terry was profoundly influenced by the work of Ansel Adams. For years he studied the Zone System, and mastered black and white exposure and darkroom techniques. Eventually he moved to shooting color transparencies, and now works with digital capture and the latest photographic hardware and software tools.
Since 1991, Terry has offered nature photography workshops and tours in locations across the country, from the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, to Florida, northern Minnesota, and California. He is presently an adjunct professor at The Renaissance Center in Dickson, TN.
He has also taught classes and seminars for corporate sponsors including Tamron, Backpacker magazine, REI, Tennessee State Parks, Nashville Zoo, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, and others.
Terry is also the author/photographer of The Warner Parks: Nashville’s Natural Legacy, a gorgeous “coffee table” book born out of 18 years of Terry’s explorations in Nashville’s Warner Parks, one of the nation’s oldest and largest urban green spaces.
Artist’s statement:
“Nature photography is about discovery. It’s about learning to see the subtle magic inherent in familiar places. In a sense, my photographs are nothing more (nor less) than the product of one man’s ongoing process of discovery. And at best they are a celebration of light: small souvenirs of the way it dances across our planet, touching it here and there, now and then, with ephemeral beauty, grace, and power.”
