I am Loyd Towe, professional photographer living and working in Portland, Oregon. I have been doing photography for over 13 years and spend time traveling all around the Pacific Northwest taking pictures of the natural beauty.
My passion is landscape photography, and I have a somewhat obsessive affection for reflections. As a result I am always in search of still waters with a mirrored surface to point my camera toward.
My other pastime is creating and managing this blog site dedicated to helping people become the photographer they wish to be.
I didn’t grow up wanting to be a photographer. I had no idea this was going to be my eventual destination. I stumbled onto photography because I got a digital camera when they first started becoming popular.
Then I became curious how it all worked, so I started reading the manual and a few articles online. Then people started appreciating my work more, so that made me want to learn even more. Repeat that cycle several more times, and I suddenly find myself selling my work, creating online portfolios and so on.
Now I am passing on all the stuff I have learned, both from reading and from doing. I’ve made a lot of mistakes, but that’s good because I can help you avoid them.
