Jim Grossman

PHOTOGRAPHER

I grew up in Minnesota, a place filled with the beauty of lakes, forests, rivers and farmland. The natural bounty of the land inspired me to expand my worldview and develop my interest and experience as a photographer. At first working with film, I spent time in the romance and wonder of the darkroom and learned the true craft of photography. Later, as I transitioned to digital and had my photos exhibited in galleries, museums and art shows, my photography became a natural extension of my love for travel and exploration.

Those travels have taken me across the U.S. and across the world. I have ventured from my home in California, to the islands of the Indian Ocean, the Serengeti plains of East Africa, to the Himalayas en route to Mt. Everest, and to so many places in between.

My images capture many moments that have left their mark on me. The fresh, silent snowfall that has come to rest on the red rock canyons of Sedona, a vast expanse of undulating sand dunes casting shadows under a crisp blue sky and a quiet fishing boat at rest in a small village in Vietnam. As I challenged myself on a trek to Everest Base Camp, I was humbled and moved by the magnificence of the snow-capped Himalayan peaks that surrounded me.

I am in my deepest, most soulful place when I spend focused time within the stillness and serenity of the natural world. With my images I hope to provide you with the same sensual experience.  I hope you’ll find the respite, peace and revitalized spirit that I do. Join me. Step into a new world.
