About Jeff Jessing and Nature Revealed Photography

Nature Revealed Photography was founded in 2004 by award winning photographer Jeff Jessing.  Jeff is passionate about the natural world. Most of his free time is spent experiencing (and photographing) nature and all of its wonders.  Nature photography is a domain where Jeff can share his appreciation, vision, and skills with many other people.  Born in 1968 in Denver, Colorado, Jeff began his enthusiasm for the natural world in the Rocky Mountains.  His early experiences with nature fostered his lifelong passion that continues to the present.  Jeff is aided in his pursuit of photography subjects with the helpful eyes of his two sons, Kasen and Landen, ages 9 and 2 years, respectively.  He has fine art photographs in collections across North America and beyond.  Jeff's photographs have appeared in various publications regionally, nationally, and internationally.  Further, he enjoys leading photography tours and teaching all aspects of nature photography.

In July of 2007, Jeff opened Nature Revealed Gallery on the stunningly beautiful Oregon coast. Nature Revealed Gallery is located in Depoe Bay, Oregon and showcases Jeff's photography. This studio also provides a center for field and digital darkroom workshops.

Jeff holds degrees of Bachelors of Science (BS), Masters of Science (MS), and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Texas A&M University.  Before pursuing photography full-time, Dr. Jessing (aka Jeff) worked at Sandia National Laboratory in Albuquerque, NM as a Senior Member of Technical Staff and at Boise State University as a Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.  Jeff has over 30 publications including two book chapters and 2 US patents. He has been an invited speaker giving short course lectures and talks at various venues.
