Patricia Davidson – Oregon Fine Art Landscape Photographer
Patricia Davidson is a professional landscape and nature photographer based in Oregon. She spent over twenty years on the southern Oregon Coast developing her landscape photography skills on the beaches and in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. In 2015, she set off in an RV on an epic four year journey to photograph the American West. Her work has been featured in Adobe, Landscape Photography, Country Woman, To & From, Outdoor Photography, Loaded Landscapes, Fuji X Passion, the AAA Oregon/Idaho Atlas, Oregon’s 1859, 123RF Create, Inspire TV, My Modern Met, and Washington Post. She has written for Visual Wilderness, Scott Kelby’s blog, and Fuji Love Magazine. With a background in the visual arts and web development, Patricia devotes herself to creating images that express her artistic vision and passion for photography, and to sharing her love of nature and the outdoors with the world.
Patricia Davidson currently resides in a small town just outside of Portland, Oregon with her husband, Mike. When she is not traveling for photography, she enjoys spending time with her family who live throughout Oregon, Nevada, and New York City.
Artist Statement
Photography for me has always been about capturing the experiences of my travels in the natural world. Growing up, I would camp and spend lots of time outdoors with my family. It’s in my blood. So picking up a camera to capture my adventures and particular vision of the colors, textures, and flowing water of the great American landscape is second nature to me. In the early years, I used a trusty point and shoot camera. But then, in 2007, I won an Oregon State Parks & Recreation photo contest and my husband surprised me with my first DSLR. From that moment on, I was hooked! I feel so blessed to live in the Pacific Northwest where I am surrounded by such gorgeous scenery. I hope my work inspires others to get outside and enjoy our wonderful treasured, public lands. Because I care so deeply about protecting the special places I recreate in, I practice Leave No Trace and Nature First principles.
