Chris D’Ardenne

As a physician and photographer, art and science have long been intertwined in Chris' life. This unique combination of careers is synergistic and makes him both a better doctor and artist. Ever since being handed his first SLR camera on a family trip to London, his passion for photography has continued to flourish. As a self-trained photographer, his main interests are landscape, travel and opportunistic wildlife photography. The majority of his photos are from mountain regions (both domestic and abroad), the desert southwest and the coast.

 

His career in medicine affords him the opportunity to pursue photography with the passion that it deserves. Accordingly, in the last few years he was featured in renowned galleries in Denver and has been published by National Geographic Calendar, Backpacker Magazine, Digital Photography Magazine, among others. His work was selected as a semi-finalist in multiple contests, including the prestigious American Landscape Photographer of the Year and the Windland Rice Photography awards.

 

Chris’ goal is to capture nature as he sees it. His patience and vision combines with a little bit of luck - rewarding us with harmonious colors, grand landscapes, colorful sunsets, and intimate scenes. He edits images simply - and if he spends longer then 5 minutes on a particular image it wasn’t meant to be (and goes in the trash)! All images are a single capture, unless otherwise specified.

 

Chris has always called mountains home and recently moved from the Colorado Rockies to the Big Sky country of Bozeman, Montana. Here he joined a local pediatric practice and is excited to explore the vast mountains of his new home state.

 

All of his photographs are available for purchase in a variety of sizes and formats, including traditional framed prints, gallery mounted, acrylic, and aluminum. Furthermore, he collaborates on both residential and corporate art projects both locally in the Bozeman area and throughout the Rocky Mountain region.
