Jeff has also partnered with the Ansel Adams Gallery and the Yosemite Association to conduct workshops for beginning photographers. His slide show, “Circle of the Season” was seen by thousands of Yosemite visitors over the eight years it was presented in Yosemite Valley.
He’s had work published by Sierra Press, National Geographic Books, Sierra Heritage and Yosemite Association among others. His photography is represented by the Ansel Adams Gallery, Stellar Gallery, and the Mariposa Arts Council.
Since I’m not there with you to tell you the stories behind each image, my image has to speak for itself. I was first moved to capture an image on film because the scene in font of me, and (and now in font of you), impressed me greatly in any of a dozen ways. I don’t want to change what first drew me in. By doing so, it would remove me one step further from you, the viewer. I simply want you to feel the same wonder I did when I stood there and took the picture." |

Jeff Grandy was born in Connecticut in 1953. He has lived, worked
and photographed in and around Yosemite and the Sierra Range since he
moved her from New England in 1978.
The
Artist states; "I am so often in awe of the visual world around me.
It is my joy to be able to capture the emotional essence of that feeling
on film. When I do, I want every bit of that quality of emotion to
end up on the finished print. This means that all of the color,
texture, and subtle nuance of the original scene need to reproduce
faithfully in the final prints. For me, the digital darkroom allows that
to happen.
