A+ A-

Landscape photographer Lynn Radeka has been traveling to famous landmarks at national parks across the western US and portraying them on film since the late 1980s. Unlike traditional travel posters, Radeka’s photographs display these stunning and statuesque rock formations as artistic objects, capturing their elegance and unique shapes on black-and-white film.

From Arizona to Utah and California, Radeka has photographed countless places since and commemorated them on film in his signature style. View 12 of the nature photographer’s terrific works below and visit his Website to see more.
