Pete Myers is one of the leading Master Fine Art Landscape Photographers of our time. He is fifty-one years old and resides in Santa Fe, NM, with his wife, Kathy. Fine art photography has been his profession since 1994.Myers is known for his compelling works of the American West, wherein he explores the very lands that shaped the lives of the people who came west during the great migration spanning the last one hundred and fifty years. Their courage and vision for a better life may not have always been recognized, but their legacy lives on in the beauty of what they left behind. The buildings, landscape, cars, and artifacts left from their existence are a glimpse into their world and the courage of their convictions.Pete’s personal focus in his work is to celebrate what is in front of the lens. The work is not about him as the photographer, but rather expresses the beauty and the honor he feels through the lens. Reflecting that emotional connection into the fine art work is created by his painstaking efforts in postproduction. He spends as much time with each image carefully completing the work, as a painter does in painting his or her pictures.Myers’s work in photography is not about “taking images,” but in “making images.” While his fieldwork is a critical element in image formation, it is his long days of effort in shaping the image in postproduction wherein he creates a work of art. The computer is his canvas, and he shapes the light upon each image element so as to evoke an emotional response within the viewer upon seeing the completed photograph. His interest is in making his technique so flawless as to not be seen, but rather to enable the beauty within the image.
