About
Photographer R. John Anderson has journeyed the world over to capture the natural beauty of God’s creation. Having traveled to many countries and continents in a span of over thirty years, he has seen the amazing artistry that can be found in all types of locations, from the glacial fjords of polar Greenland to the wild Serengeti plains in Tanzania to the rich rain forests of Costa Rica. Nature’s greatest natural beauty often lies in the harshest deserts, remotest wilderness, and sub-zero ice-covered regions.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PLACE THAT YOU’VE BEEN TO?
A. I’d have to say that two locations, in particular, have impressed me the most. The first is Greenland, with its immense scenery – glaciers, mountains of ice, and crystal-clear glacier-blue fantastical ice formations. The second is Death Valley, where I feel a great sense of calmness, peace, and serenity in the unbelievably harsh yet starkly beautiful landscape. I guess I’ve picked two opposite extremes, yes – the furnace of Death Valley and the brutal cold of the arctic are definitely contrasting in climates. I’d be remiss for not mentioning close runner-ups: Iceland, with its seemingly endless landscapes to explore, and the Serengeti plains of Africa, with its teeming wildlife.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE PLACE?
A. Ah, that’s easy…the airport. Need I say any more?
Q. WHAT IS THE MOST REWARDING FOR YOU IN DOING NATURE AND LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY?
A. Obviously, I get a real rush out of capturing an intense landscape frozen in a moment of time, illuminated by epic light with stunning weather conditions. But beyond that, the main pleasure I get from my photography is when I see one of my prints being hung for the first time in someone’s home or office as it takes its place on the wall…that is really what it’s all about. That is what makes all the hard work worthwhile.
