About
Hi, my name is Bob Dionne, I am a photographer based in Portland, OR. I enjoy various types of photography: nature, landscape, closeup, urban, and abstract. In fact, Iām drawn to any view that captures my eye and engages me in my creative zone.
I have been passionate about photography since 2016, when I saw a pallet of cameras at a Costco and decided I needed a hobby. After much time being self-taught, with some credit to YouTube content, a few photography workshops, and contemplative practice with both gear and software, I feel confident in my skills and my craft, my images often presented with the soft glow of a painting.
When I am not taking pictures, I enjoy time in nature, hiking and cooking. I draw inspiration for my photographs from the moments of light and shape in the world around us, and from the beautiful images created and shared by countless photographers around the world. I hope to produce images that give the viewer a brief pause to contemplate. I don't think a photograph always tells a story but it should evoke a feeling in the viewer.
