"Passages" Fine Art Print

Dennis "Ducilla" Doyle is a landscape photographer based in Northern Nevada. His passion for the outdoors has taken him all over the West exploring National and State parks, the Pacific coastline, deserts, mountain peaks and all the spaces in between.

A self-taught photographer, Dennis has refined his art over the last twenty years and specializes in capturing the mood of a sunset, the serenity of a desert playa, the story of the tree and the power, movement and beauty of water. His style is simple, bold and moving. Every image tells a story.

As a professional, Dennis' desire is to bring to each viewer a more revealing inner beauty and appreciation of nature than they had previously. Having hiked deep into places where few have traveled, or are even aware exist, his talent brings out the “extra” ordinary and “unique” glory in natural scenes. His intent is to stir the deep beauty in this world with his viewers – and deliver them his vision and awe.

In the last several months, Dennis has mixed another passion with photography: writing. In his first publication, "Elements," Dennis accompanies descriptions of the moment he captured. In his second book, "Life, Interrupted," Dennis explores a more artistic interpretation of images and writes a story of what might have happened in rural Nevada during the hey day of the remnants now scattered throughout the desert.

In his own words...

Photography is a quest for me. It is not a pleasant excursion, but rather a driving passion. I am a naturalist/conservationist in my heart and soul.

He stood breathing, and the more he breathed the land in the more he was filled up with all the details others missed. He was empty and there was more than enough here to fill him. There would always be more than enough.

The inspiration for his majestic land portraits..."First and foremost the beauty and mystery of light. Only through that great light can shadows emerge.”
