welcome
photography . Sunrise in Santa Barbara
Hello!
Please enjoy this site with extensive images, a photographic experience where I am able to closely work with my clients offering art, photography and Weathered Walls to obtain a beautifully custom look for home, office or shop. The process of creating for amazing architects, designers and homeowners, in addition to my travels throughout Alaska, Canada, Hawaii, mainland USA, Baja, Mexico, Central & South America, Puerto Rico and Europe have influenced and fueled how I interpret and actualize capturing light, shape and movement.
Whether my art and photography has the possibility to capture your inspired quest, or ignites an entirely fresh idea, please feel comfortable reaching out via call, text or email to discuss your visual target. respectfully, jon ortner
