Dennis Doyle is an award-winning landscape photographer based in Northern Nevada. His passion for the outdoors has taken him all over the West exploring National and State parks, the Pacific coastline, deserts, mountain peaks and all the spaces in between.

A self-taught photographer, Dennis has refined his art over the last twenty years and specializes in capturing the mood of a sunset, the serenity of a desert playa, the story of the tree and the power, movement and beauty of water. His style is simple, bold and moving. Every image tells a story.

In the last year, Dennis has mixed another passion with photography: writing. In his first publication, "Elements," Dennis accompanies descriptions of the moment he captured. In his second book, "Life, Interrupted," Dennis explores a more artistic interpretation of images and writes a story of what might have happened in rural Nevada during the hey day of the remnants now scattered throughout the desert.

The inspiration for his majestic land portraits..."First and foremost the beauty and mystery of light. Only through that great light can shadows emerge.”
