BEST FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHER
Awarded by Peerspace
"Master photographer Mike Jensen covers landscapes and educational classes on the artform of photography in multiple locations in America and abroad. Shooting with intent and purpose is a major part of Mike’s photography philosophy. As he describes it, “To be a purposeful photographer you have to get up early a lot, and stay up late a lot and continue to go back until you get the shot you envision. You have to study the weather, the skies, the stars, the moon as well as the effect of the light on the terrain and other features.”
The artwork generated by his focus and intent takes us on journeys from the Serengeti to downtown Kansas City, the West, Florida and beyond. His emphasis is on a true-to-life color palette that’s rich and brings out fine landscape details, such as flowers, sky tonal ranges, and more. Mike’s long-exposure night photography is also striking, taking advantage of the lack of light pollution in the remote areas of the US to showcase the Big Dipper, the Milky Way, and other celestial wonders normally hidden from urban dwellers."

This is an image captured in early July as the (almost) full moon was rising over the lighthouse on Gasparilla Island, Florida. As is normal I had been here before scouting the location. This location is right on the Gulf of Mexico so we went out for sunset. The sunset was somewhat of a dud, but the rising moon made for this beautiful image. Enjoy!
