A powerful mountain is in the background reflected by the still and tranquil water. Tumbling into it like green clouds is a thicket of lush trees which enhance the impact of this photograph. Mike Shepard's beautiful photography aims to achieve a clear description of natural design and elemental simplicity in the landscape. He explores inner light, essence and ideal form. His images are simultaneously realistic and impressionistic. He was born in London 1964 and took up photography on his 16th birthday. A Lancaster University graduate, he came out with a first class honours in Eastern art and architecture, going on to teach photography, digital imaging, and digital art at the same uni. After this, he embarked on his now full time career as a landscape photographer, where he is strongly influenced by the American landscape monochrome tradition.
