As a geologist, I began learning the craft of photography as a tool in scientific investigations. Over time, a passion emerged for the art of photography and a zeal for capturing the magnificence of nature. Eventually I made the career transition to full time photography.
I specialize in fine art nature photography, with particular emphasis on the U.S. west including Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks near my home in eastern Idaho. My goal in photographing the natural world is to overcome the inherent limitations of traditional photography to produce images with depth and perspective that artistically represent the beauty of our natural environment. The human eye is far more capable than any camera at seeing the beauty of a natural scene. I strive to overcome that gap. The sense of awe inspired by nature's magnificence is what I attempt to translate from nature to every photographic image I produce. As a discipline, photography necessitates a delicate balance between skilled technical merit and artistic vision. Few artistic endeavors can be as gratifying.
After many years exploring our western national parks, including countless trips to Yellowstone and the Tetons, I have developed an intimate familiarity with some of the best landscape and nature scenery the west has to offer, resulting in a collection of many excellent pieces. My work is exhibited and sold from the Norrell Gallery of Photographic Art in Idaho Falls, and available online from several websites including GregNorrell.com, TetonArt.com, and YellowstonePhotoArt.com. The slogan in my gallery and on my websites is 'Surround Yourself With Beauty'. For those who'd like to keep track of my ongoing work, please follow me on Twitter.
