Fine art photographer Byron Jorjorian has been capturing the natural world on film for more than 30 years. With more than 210,000 images in his files, his photographs have appeared on nationally published greeting cards, calendars, magazines, posters, murals, fine art prints, brochures, and advertising. Jorjorian has had over 10,000 images published and more than 8,000 fine art prints installed all over the United States. He was also featured in the book, The Best of Nature Photography–Images and Techniques from the Pros, and was named one of the top 40 nature photographers worldwide.

Jorjorian has been interested in the natural world for as long as he can remember. He grew up in rural Mississippi with cages of snakes, frogs and lizards under his bed. His artistic side showed itself at an early age with sketches, drawings and paintings centered around nature. But at age 19, the journey began when he purchased a small camera. His love for nature, art and being true to himself have motivated him to be a truly remarkable photographer. He continually tries to explore and discover new ways of capturing images.

  Artist Statement
“In my travels to remote wild areas of Tennessee, I have made a fascinating observation. Certain natural places have an aura about them that you can feel. They exude an almost spiritual presence. This feeling has had a profound influence on my life and the images that I create. In these images I seek to explore and share this ‘spiritual connection’ with nature, through the medium of photography.”
