With each photo, solemn and secure, Grant Retterer transports viewers to a landscape far away from worry and stress. With dazzling light and expansive scenes, he opens our eyes (quite literally) to stunning compositions and quiet moments. With rich shadows and glowing highlights, each scene offers a treasure of detail and beauty. Soft, yet striking, Grant’s use of color is phenomenal. Blue in particular is handled with such care, lending a strong hand in the melancholia that his work evokes.
There is an irrefutable gravitas to Grant’s photography. The trees stand tall, and mountains tower high. Time stands still, a moment stuck in time with no beginning and no end. Only pure tranquility and the rich emotions of colors and tones dancing across each image.
Grant’s work truly is a respite from the crazy world outside. Each turns us inward and offers a bit of relief from daily life, even if for only a moment. I myself was inspired by Grant’s work and went back and edited some of my old travel shots. I highly encourage checking out the rest of his stunning work by visiting his website here.
