With our busy lives, we often don't get the time to explore or even travel to the natural wilderness as genuinely as we would like, or connecting to new places on a deeper level with the world around us. This is unfortunate as there are so many benefits that come from being in touch with nature. At Silver Branch Studios, we bring nature's beauty and healing power into your everyday life through fine art nature and landscape photographic prints as large format wall art?
James H Egbert doesn't just take pictures; he is a dedicated story teller. Whether it’s ethereal landscapes, candid wildlife portraits, or close-up photographs of wildflowers, the subject matter is always thoughtfully chosen and masterfully executed. This allows for a multi-dimensional experience, inviting viewers to dive deep into the worlds captured within the frames. Taking from his early influences by such masters as Ansel Adams, Alfred Stieglitz and Ed Weston, James has made photographs that transport you from where you are and into the scene as it unfolded before him.
"When I'm ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my minds eye something that is not literally there in the true meaning of the word. I'm interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without." ~ Ansel Adams
Every print takes extraordinary attention to detail. The quality of work produced by James and his partnership with Miller's Professional Imaging Lab is nothing short of breathtaking. Each shot is composed with meticulous attention to detail, from the framing and focus to the lighting and subject matter. This ensures that each piece serves as a stunning testament to the beauty and complexity of its subject. Finally once the photograph is put into the digital darkroom, James works to select the single frame that communicates exactly the story James had in mind by correcting for any thing that did not translate in the camera due to mechanical limitations of all cameras.
"In my mind's eye, I visualize how a particular... sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice." ~ Ansel Adams
The hallmark of Silver Branch Studios and the work of James H Egbert is the quality of materials used, and it is due in part by the partnership James has with Miller's Lab. Each photograph is printed on highest quality, archival-grade paper or other specialty materials that ensures clarity of color and detail of the image's original splendor. The frames used are also of the finest quality, making sure that the art not only stands out but also stands the test of time.
"Image quality is not the product of a machine, but of the person who directs the machine, and there are no limits to imagination and expression." ~ Ansel Adams
James has always been a story teller with a camera. From his childhood in the 60's and 70's he made a point of finding things of interest to focus on. Eventually in his military career his hobby led him to reconsidering is career going from a high intensity and dangerous vocation into journalism as his work caught the eyes of others trained in the field. After his military career James continued as a Photojournalist shooting for news papers and magazines such as Outdoor Photographer and National Geographic Adventure. James has also self published coffee table books and eventually began selling fine art Nature and Landscape Prints to corporate and private buyers around the country. James has even been honored to have is work proudly displayed in the Colorado State Capitol Building expressing his love of his home state.
"The photographer's most important and likewise most difficult task is not learning to manage his camera, or to develop, or to print. It is learning to see photographically — that is, learning to see his subject matter in terms of the capacities of his tools and processes, so that he can instantaneously translate the elements and values in a scene before him into the photograph he wants to make." ~ Edward Weston
"In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality." ~ Alfred Stieglitz

In 2001 I was invited to submit prints to be on display at the Colorado State Capitol under the Dome along side fellow fine art photographers depicting the many wonders of Colorado. This resulted in the sale of work to one of the State Capitol Architects.
BNY Mellon Bank was my first major corporate art buyer and the purchased several prints and displayed them as a Gallery in their Denver Cherry Creek Location with a gala presenting me with a permanent showing across from the Cherry Creek Mall and my friend John Fielder who opened his gallery on the same day. We visited each other's showing as friends.
Founders Financial Wealth Management saw what Mellon Bank had done and chose to add their own permanent display in their main building in Denver dedicating an entire floor with my photographs of Colorado.
For nearly a decade I had a display in house featuring my work between 1996 and 2011 showing the many wonders of Colorado. I was able to sell numerous prints to gallery visitors over the years. Ultimately the Gallery closed and was never re-opened.
