About Me

Welcome!

I'M Jeff wolkove

Hi. I'm Jeff Wolkove, and I'd like to welcome you to my new virtual art gallery. Let me tell you a little about myself, and the type of photography you’ll find here.

I've had a camera in my hands since I bought a “Snappy" camera from an ad on the back of a comic book before I was 10 years old. Today’s powerful digital cameras, software and affordable printers give me access to capabilities I couldn't even dream of a few years ago.

I express my artistic side through photography. It’s a way to record special moments, and recall the experience of becoming part of a landscape, follow history’s footsteps, or meet local people and wildlife.

On a typical weekend, you'll probably find me exploring the back-country of Arizona in 4-wheel drive SUV, searching for deer, elk, birds, a special sunset, fall colors, fresh air and peace. I don't always get the shot. Soon I'll post a video about my attempt to photograph a wolf in Colorado - "the one that got away".

I do minimal editing on my photographs, only adjusting them for lighting and sharpness. I prefer to compose in the camera.  I don’t add details that weren’t there when I captured the image.

I am developing a portfolio of high-resolution panoramas.  For example, my Camelback Mountain panorama is a mosaic of 6 high-resolution images combined to make a stunning 124 megapixel image. You can order one on this site, and if you have a larger space to fill, say a hotel lobby or office building, my panoramas can be special ordered in sizes 10’ wide or more!

For more about me, please watch my introductory video.

My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.

Inspiration

I am inspired by the work of Ansel Adams, a pioneer in our field who brought the beauty of America's National Parks to the world long before digital cameras, and Artificial Intelligence. 

Techniques

I shoot with a Sony A-99 Mk II and A-77 Mk II and a variety of Sony lenses. the A-99ii gives me the high resolution I need to produce images that can fill a wall.  I use Adobe Lightroom to edit and adjust photos, as well as the Topaz products to improve clarity, noise and sharpness. 

My Day job

By day, I'm Arizona's Top Data Guy. I have worked for the State since 2012, leading our Statewide Data Management Program. Google me! You'll find hours of bedtime reading!
