Rodney Lough Jr., an award-winning Master Photographer, is beloved by over 40,000 fine art collectors worldwide. Renowned for the vibrant colors and vivid textures of his wilderness and landscape photography, Rodney is a purist who captures what nature creates, using no color filters or darkroom deception.

Rodney has been viewing life through the lens since the age of 12. His father's best friend, a photographer, noted young Rodney's eye for composition and encouraged him to photograph his world. More than documenting his travels through life, Rodney has enabled thousands to view the natural world from a unique, celebratory perspective.

"The world is a remarkable place full of beauty and splendor," Rodney exclaims. "To witness the simple grandeur of creation, the miracle of nature, is perhaps all that we need. The peace received while viewing a leaf turned color at the height of fall is immense and divine."

To share his enthusiasm with the public, Rodney welcomes visitors to peruse his two bay area Wilderness Collections Galleries, located at Pier 39 in San Francisco and at 8 Princess Street in Sausalito, as well as his newest Gallery in the Mall of America, Bloomington Minnesota.

In contrast to his coveted career as a fine art photographer, Rodney began his professional life as a statistician and mathematician, having earned a Master's degree in statistics at Brigham Young University in 1986 after becoming the first receipent of the BYU Outstanding Achievement Scholarship. Throughout his years in the corporate arena, Rodney relied on his passion for photography and on his allegiant family to sustain his enthusiasm for life.

Rodney Lough Jr. lives and works in Happy Valley, Oregon, with his wife, LeeAnna, and their four children. When not at home in his studio, he searches the national landscape for overlooked treasures and leads photography workshop expeditions into the wilderness.
