John Wardlaw is an award winning filmmaker and published photographer that resides in Bend, Oregon.

A graduate of UC Santa Barbara and Brooks Institute of Photography, John also attended University of Oregon. His artistic work has always reflected the beauty of the natural world around him.  

From snowy sunrises at Crater Lake to dramatic sunsets in Australia, Mr. Wardlaw has a way of capturing nature - both at home and abroad - in a way that transports the viewer as though they were actually there.  His affinity for experimenting with time's influence on photography has lead to exquisite long-exposure shots of such subjects as waterfalls and fireworks.

When Mr. Wardlaw isn’t photographing, you can find him out hiking Central Oregon with his wife Tricia, or at home relaxing with their four cats.  An avid fisherman, world traveler and surfer, he is always looking for the next adventure.  No matter where that may be, you will be sure to find him with a camera at his side.
