John Sagert's Profile

For over 30 years I have been photographing nature. While living in upstate New York I was surrounded by nature’s beauty. It started as a way of filling in the time between hunting seasons. But I soon found myself seeing nature for what it really meant to me. I saw nature as the beauty that surrounds us. Nature knows no season or time. Nature never dies but it is forever being born. It is constantly changing and being seen in different ways. Since we did not create nature we should not try to alter it. I photograph nature the way I see it, and then leave it the same way for the next person to enjoy. Capturing the beauty of nature on film or digitally enables me to share what I see reflected in my photographs. Nature was not meant to be altered by technology, and for that reason only minor cropping and color corrections are done to my images.
