About Artist

Jeff Beatty

Award-winning Arizona-based photographer passionate about capturing natures beauty locally in the Southwest, throughout the U.S. and in traveling to some of the world's most inspiring and intriguing locations. Whether it is a wildlife, nature, landscape or travel opportunity I find my ability to visualize the best overall composition of the image to complement the subject matter is my strong suit. Ultimately, this is only truly validated if I am able to convey to the individual viewing the image the same emotion I experienced when I clicked the shutter!
