The purpose of this page is to illustrate my style of photography, the Nature Photography Mastery Style, by visually comparing it with other image styles and qualities. This is relevant to anyone interested in learning from me, because it’s the basis for everything I teach.

For a clear explanation of my photography style, and my opinions and ideologies of what makes a superb fine art nature image, please see The Mastery Style page.
