Peace in the Valley

Nathan Dannels

As a native Coloradan who began my journey in earnest into photography in 2019, I feel grateful to be able to pursue a passion for capturing the colorful beauty and personality of our world. I grew up in Northern Colorado, lived in the Midwest and South while building a career in Information Technology, and returned home to Colorado, in 2019, to be closer to family and further develop my love of visual storytelling. I am drawn to photography as a vehicle through which to explore this awe-inspiring planet with my loved ones, and I strive to help others in their emotional connection to and understanding of the natural world. Having a great interest in meteorology, I am particularly drawn to capturing images which help document both natural and human-driven changes in weather and the impact of these events on our surroundings. When not working or planning/taking photography excursions with family, I am found at home spending time with my three amazing kids, and our golden retriever, Kuzco.
