Fall and Winter Foliage Photography

The Pacific Northwest changes dramatically with the seasons, from brilliant red maples and golden larches to the quieter colors and textures of late autumn and winter. This collection brings together my favorite foliage photographs from Washington and around the Northwest, exploring color, light, selective focus, and the small details that make the changing seasons so compelling. Fine art prints are available in a variety of sizes and finishes. To order a print please email me at Mike Reid Photography
