One of my favorite styles of photography is landscape photography. My favorite subject matter is the Southwest United States, especially Monument Valley. My love of photographs of Monument Valley grew as a result of watching the movies of my favorite actor, John Wayne. Many of John Wayne’s western movies were either based in or filmed in the Monument Valley area.
Glenn Lewis is a photographer who specializes in taking photographs in the Monument Valley and Grand Canyon areas. I am especially drawn to his photograph of Monument Valley at Sunset. I am drawn to this photograph because of the variations of light & shadow, how the rust color of the buttes pops in the sunlight & is subtle in the shadow and how the clouds are bathed in light throughout the center & are dark around the edges. I also like how each of the buttes has a differing amount of shadow & light and how a wide angle was used to include all three buttes.
