"When people look at my pictures, I want them to feel the way they do when they want to read a line of a poem twice." -Robert Frank

Hello, I’m Rebecca King. Art has been a passion of mine my entire life, with my skilled father being the biggest influence. From a young age, I grew up watching as he sat for hours on the patio painting the natural beauty of his home in Alaska onto canvas using his favorite medium, oil. Because of this I’ll always find the scent of linseed oil, nostalgic and comforting. As a young adult, I went on to work professionally in the art industry for ten years. Custom framing of art opened my life to a new creative world that I thrived in. I worked with artists and designers of all types, framed art by Picasso and even a toy sailboat. Eventually, I began to travel the world. I developed an intense desire to capture those experiences and it was then that I discovered my own form of art to create, photography.
Inspiring others to see the natural beauty around us is, to me, an important part of photography. Many people can’t physically experience everything they would like to, so I often write a story about the image when I share it online. I explain the sounds I heard, the emotions I felt, and the events that led up to a moment. This is my favorite way to engage with the people who follow my work.
Timeless imagery is always my favorite form of storytelling. I’ve spent the last several years exploring a multitude of photography genres, from astrophotography and wildlife to weddings and portraits. However, my heart truly lies in capturing landscape and wildlife. Currently, I'm in my eigth season working and living in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. I provide photo tours throughout winter and summer, with educational interpretation and photography instruction centered on ethical nature and wildlife shooting.
