Michael W. Nelson

My work explores the themes of Timeless Romance, Sensual Grace and Quiet Intimacy. I explore these themes in a range of subjects including figure studies, romantic portraits, seascapes and still life. michaelnelson.com

A caption for this photo from author Chuck Holmes “Certainly, sir, you may follow me if you wish. However, I assure you that it will do you no good. In fact, it may do you harm. Perhaps a great deal of harm.”

TreeScapes. Wrapped in fog, still, silent. The wolves howled in the distance...

The fog rolled in and danced around us, carrying the sound of silence to our hearts.

A new print from the “Atmospheres” series. I wasn’t sure I’d like the look of my work on metal, but it really works with the softness of these predawn images. Makes getting up so early worth it!
