About the Artist

Charles Daviet has been chasing excellent light with his cameras for more than 30 years. He believes his photographs succeed most when he focuses on light and form, clearing from consciousness the identities of the objects there - tree, stream, bird or whatever.

His photos are found in the collections of those who appreciate the revitalizing power of natural scenes found deep in the woods, who connect with the simple elegance painted by fog, mist and snow, or who feel a chill sharing the capture of wildlife in their natural setting.

He finds his themes mostly in the woods and trails of New York and Maine, the coast of New England and the lowlands of South Carolina. He enjoys these often solitary outdoor journeys in photography, seeing all as new, in excellent light, with respect, mindfulness and patience (and 20 pounds of gear).
