Lorraine Nilson Photography
I was born in Seattle Washington and have lived and traveled throughout the United States. (I was a military brat.)  I have lived in California for the last 30 years.  Now I am  1 1/2 hours from San Francisco and 2 1/2 hours from Yosemite Valley, so day trips are frequent to both locations for photographing.

I became serious about photography about 20 years ago.  I have taken many classes and workshops.  I have also taught  photoshop classes.  My favorite media is black & white photography.  I love the impact of a good black & white image.   My other favorite thing is working on my photoscans.  I call these, Nature up Close.  I worked on my technique for six months before I  got  results I was happy with.   I am always  changing my methods to fit the leaf or pod I am working with.  I like to experiment and play with all of the bells and whistles, so photoshop is an ideal environment for my work.  However, I do like to keep my images looking realisitc so I try to keep the filters and special effects to a minimum.

My work can be found at:
