Great and powerful landscape photography has been made for generations. Then along came Jeffrey Conley who introduced me to an entirely different feeling. His darker landscapes possess an almost haunting presence. They remind us that nature is both breathtaking and indifferent, leaving us with the unmistakable feeling of just how small we really are.
It is one thing to master the technical craft of revealing extraordinary detail within deep shadow. It is another to be standing in exactly the right place when light, weather, and landscape come together in perfect harmony. Jeffrey has an extraordinary instinct for those occasions. Combined with his mastery in print making, it is a combination that very few photographers possess.
