For nearly four decades, I have endeavored to communicate my vision with passion and proficiency. My photographic explorations of light and tone exhibit a powerful counterpoint to communicate a sense of place and evoke feelings of connection. I strive to provide my audience a glimpse into the soul of my subjects through bold and brilliant colors, dramatic contrast and the harmonious interplay of light, lens and film.

My experience across nature and landscape, photo journalism, commercial studio work and distinctive portraiture has honed my responsiveness to convey a unique perspective in my fine artwork. J&K Gerlich Photographic Arts, formed twelve years ago with my wife, Kat, has allowed me to travel and explore diverse subject matter, typically emphasizing natural and/or historic themes. I am honored to have had my work featured on magazine covers as well as on display in public, private and corporate venues, and to have been invited to exhibit at 'Top 50' fine art festivals.
