Michael Ambrose is a fine art photographer specializing in large format images of our natural world. After graduating from Humboldt State University with a degree in fine art, Michael assisted legendary photographer Vern Clevenger for five years in the 1990’s. With that solid base under him, Michael has passionately created a body of work that that is timeless and breathtaking. As Michael puts it: “Photographs of wilderness are, for me, a way of presenting the heart of a place. Not merely scenery, I strive to bring to my viewer an essence, a voice for the stone, the leaf, snowflakes becoming glaciers, millions of years of vast stillness, storm and light.” Now collected internationally, Michael’s work is available for viewing and purchase at the Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite, and more recently, at his newest gallery space in the Iron Bird Lofts Fresno.
