Landscapes
The beauty of the outdoors. A striking sunset, a river rushing through a quiet valley, or even the view outside your back deck. Landscape photography is popular for the obvious reason that it captures something special in the colors, composition, and vastness of the great outdoors. In this gallery, we’ve curated photography featuring landscapes and the outdoors at its best: big, beautiful, and maybe even a little heart stopping.

Candids
The joy of spontaneity. There is nothing more satisfying than a good candid picture. The random snap of your finger can capture movement, mood, people, places, and even animals in the act of being interesting. The result is photography that is filled energy and is a picture with high narrative quality. Subjects are often unaware they are being photographed, so candid pictures tend to have an honesty and vulnerability that is harder to showcase in a staged photo. Humor, sadness, power, energy: candids have it all… and so does this gallery. Be inspired and enjoy!
