Walter Duddington

Welcome to the gallery of Walt Duddington!

I consider myself to be a visual story-teller. As an artist, I seek the beauty in my subjects, whether people, places, or things. Looking beyond the obvious, I find their story and reveal it effectively.

I work in methods that have a vintage, moody, dreamier feeling to the finished work. My desire is to create in a classic style that transcends time.

A native of Oregon, I have been blessed with a wealth of beauty in both the natural and man-made worlds around me. You will find a diversity of fine art photography in my gallery. It is organized in Collections: Landscape, Rural Life, Water, Structures/ Architecture, Figurative/ Nude, People/ Portraits, Still Life/ Bits of Beauty. Scroll down to the Collections area at the bottom of my page to select and view all pictures in a Collection.

I hope you enjoy these visual story moments as much as I do. I add to my gallery nearly every week, with affordable choices in fine art photography. Whether your interest is in creating a collection of small prints, or a "statement piece" for your home, please come back and visit again.

Thank you for stopping by!

Most of my artistic education has been self-taught. However, I also have benefited from workshops and courses I've attended with prominent fine art photographers. My involvement in art organizations has also provided me with a broad understanding of visual art and enabled artistic growth of my own work.

My choice of photographic technology is only a means to the finished picture. I use both digital and analog equipment, and a variety of development and editing methods to achieve the desired look and feeling.
