John Fielder has been nearly everywhere in the state, driving hundreds of thousands of miles to capture it. He’s a professional photographer and author who has a lot to offer the Colorado thrill seeker.

You can find his work online and at two local art galleries, one in Breckenridge. His resume includes 39 exhibit format and guide books, countless treks, and over 40 years of Colorado photography.

His flagship book, Colorado 1870-2000 (affiliate link), is Colorado’s top selling regional title of all time. It’s an incredible leather bound book that features 300 sets of side by side images, a modern one from John, printed next to a matching 19th century shot from William Henry Jackson.

In addition to his commercial endeavors, he works hard to promote and preserve Colorado’s natural spaces. Every year he rallies thousands of people to back smart land use. His photography has helped influence legislation that affects the Rocky Mountain countryside you know and enjoy.

The gallery is housed in The Photo Shop in Breckenridge, which is open daily. In addition to John’s images, you’ll find photography from Gary Soles, a Summit County local of twenty years.

Hands-On Photography Workshops

Each year John hosts a number of outstanding photography workshops around the Rockies, like the one shown above in Crested Butte. All levels are welcome to attend but space is limited.

My advice to photography students is to be perceptive. Always keep an eye open for new shapes, new colors, different kinds of light, and how light affects the way we see the landscape. – John Fielder
