Tall, magnificent Aspen trees bask in the sunshine in this Telluride, Colorado landscape photograph by Clark Schiring. Taken at the peak of autumnal color, with the sun peeking through, this scene depicts the amazing beauty of a Colorado Aspen forest during the fall.

soft landscapes

Eagle’s Nest (13,419’), the northernmost peak in the Gore Range of Colorado, peeks above a misty and cloudy Autumnal day. The towering peak has a few golden yellow Aspen Trees detailing its lower flanks like a string of pearls.

Located in the Redstone, Colorado area, this scene of the Crystal River, taken in Fall or Autumn, with a slower shutter displaying the smooth current of the river, has a calm, “the first snow is coming” feel to it. It was shot by Landscape Fine Art Photographer Clark Schiring.

Flowing Water

With an almost Martian-looking scene, this astrophotography images of White Pocket, Arizona has an ethereal feel to it. The flowing lava-like texture of the foreground, augmented by the Milky Way prominently augmenting the mood of this image makes the viewer feel as though they are on another planet.

Galactic Scenes

Exploring various locations within Canyonlands National Park, Utah, Clark Schiring captured this scene just as the sun set behind the Needles District. With flowing red rocks typical of Moab-area landscapes, this fine art photography image creates a dramatic, yet calming feeling for the viewer. It was shot low to the ground using a wide-angle lens to showcase the dramatic sky, as well as the rocks below.

Desert Dimensions

This scene, depicted near Santa Cruz, California, has a lot of calming, tranquil drama to it. It seems like a place where a Pirate might try to spend the night, before heading back out to sea the next day. The dramatic orange sunset, and large rock formation of Shark Fin Cove, make this Fine Art Photograph a great composition of land, sea and sky. Clark Schiring took this image.

Tranquil Waterscapes

abstract visions

Clark Schiring of Wilderness Exclusives fine art photography took this image of the Spokane Pavilion at night. This is a unique geometric design, and creates a mind-bending illusion of dozens or hundreds of lights all swirling towards the top of the Pavilion. It fills the viewer's mind with wonder, as to what we are looking at, it appears to be a geometric pattern in the night sky.

Owl Observations

This scene in Barcelona, Spain, Catalonia, shot with a wide-angle lens by Clark Schiring of Wilderness Exclusives fine art photography, features the brightly colored buildings lining this street/alley. Other pedestrians, dressed in typical European garb, enjoy the scene. On a bright and beautiful spring day, these buildings make the viewer feel joyous and explorative of the streets of the coolest city in the world.

Structure

Clark Schiring caught this roaring, rushing cascade of water in Fiordland National Park in New Zealand with a wide-angle lens and a slow shutter, for the walls of his Gallery, Wilderness Exclusives. Several varieties of ferns and foliage line the banks of this flowing river, giving way to mist in the background.

Waterfalls

This Gallery is rooted in Clark’s s belief in this art form’s unique ability to convey the beauty of the most grandiose, as well as a seemingly mundane scene. Clark Schiring has been using his take on visual imagery to explore the world, particularly the western United States, for years. Calling Summit County, Colorado home, Clark opened Wilderness Exclusives Fine Art Photography in 2020 as a place to showcase his unique perspectives in-person, on high-end acrylic face-mounts as well as more traditional mounting formats.

We love summit county

While doing this, the Gallery is also host to guest exhibits to showcase other local talent, while also being a continuing donor and/or host for local benefit concerts and special events, including the Slifer Foundation, Friends of the Dillon Ranger District, and Summit County Public Schools. Clark was recognized in the community as Best Artist in the 2022 “Best of Summit” celebration, a year he was also a finalist for Best Professional Photographer.
