John Aylward

Bio:

John is a landscape and adventure photographer based in Central Oregon, committed to raising awareness for environmental conservation. Through his compelling imagery, he seeks to inspire emotional connections that encourage others to explore, appreciate, and protect the natural world.

His passion for the outdoors and active lifestyle—encompassing biking, kayaking, hiking, and skiing—affords him access to stunning locations throughout the seasons and from unique perspectives. This enables him to capture the stunning beauty of nature and the vibrant spirit of those who immerse themselves in it. Explore his captivating portfolio at his www.JohnAylward.Photos website.

An early adopter of technology and expert in computer hardware/software, I produced my first online photo journal with digital images in 2002 while cycling across the U.S. from Oregon to Maine. Between 2012 and 2016, I produced five more cycling adventure online journals and two large-format books.

I craft archival-quality fine-art prints for homes and businesses which have been displayed and offered at several galleries in the Hudson Valley. Prints and digital images can be ordered here on my website.
