Welcome to the online home of Joe LeFevre Photography. It contains Joe's best images from over 30 years of photographing natural landscapes nationwide. Here you will find landscapes of great diversity from the desert south west to the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest.
Joe's images have been published nationally in Outdoor Photographer magazine, regionally in Adirondack Life magazine, the award-winning New York State Conservationist magazine, and in numerous other regional publications. A popular convention speaker, Joe has captivated audiences at venues throughout the United States with his remarkable imagery, including the New England Camera Club Council (NECCC) convention at UMass Amherst (2009 and 2007), the Photographic Society of America (PSA) International Conference of Photography (2008), and the Niagara Frontier Regional Camera Clubs (NFRCC) annual convention (2006, 2007, and 2009). He has won many awards in photographic competitions, including Best of Show in the 2003 New York State Fair and the Best in Graphics Award in the 68th Regional Exhibition at the Arnot Art Museum in Elmira, NY in 2002. Joe has exhibited at the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, NY, as part of the 2006 and 2002 Everson Biennials. He is a staff instructor at the Adirondack Photography Institute, which offers photographic workshops and tours throughout the spectacular Adirondack region of upstate New York. A self-taught photographer, Joe is constantly in search of magical light, which is capable of transforming even mundane landscapes into places of great beauty. The great landscape photographer Ansel Adams once stated, "The landscape is possibly the most difficult subject material to work with; it offers the minimum control of point of view in reference to composition and confronts the photographer with extremes of light and shadow..." The challenges involved in obtaining an outstanding landscape image are indeed great, but so are the rewards when one is finally captured. May you walk in beauty.
