Artist Review - Adam Schallau

While looking for more photographic artists, I came across this photographer: Adam Schallau. His landscape photography is extremely beautiful in my opinion! Many of this photos feature the warm, colorful landscape of the southwestern United States, mainly in the Four-Corners region. I really enjoy his barren landscape pictures of desert scenes. The saturation of the photos make them feel extremely warm and inviting, and inspire me to take a road trip this summer to visit the Four-Corners region. This image especially, "Bisti Badlands," makes me want to visit Sedona in northern Arizona.


Other images by Schallau, like this "Aspen Melt" photo, have a great uniqueness about them. What I love about "Aspen Melt" is how the trees in the background look warm and bright, while their shadows fall on the cold, slowly melting snow in the foreground. All together an extremely appealing picture, in my opinion.


Another image I really like by Schallau is one titled "American Basin Wildflowers." I absolutely love the contrasting scenes of the lush, green foreground, and the stark, rocky peak in the background.



Schallau's work has definitely inspired me to want to travel more around the U.S. and take more landscape photographs.
