Londie Padelsky
has become widely recognized as one of the leading women photographers
of scenic images, people in the natural environment, and wild landscapes.
A
native Californian from San Luis Obispo, Londie has photographed throughout
North
America and abroad, using medium format, panoramic and 35mm cameras.
Her work has been published in numerous advertisements, books,
calendars, and magazines such as National Geographic Traveler,
Backpacker, Country, Outdoor Photographer, and Sunset.
Londie has lived in the Eastern Sierra since 1982.
She has photographed
the Sierra wilderness extensively by foot and on horseback often
camping for several weeks at a time. In 1997, Londie led an eight-week
photography expedition by horseback with pack mules, crossing more
than 250 miles on the John Muir Trail.
" My photographs speak of my life, who I am and what I do. I just
love being out there, totally immersed with nature! For me,
watching light slowly add dimension to a shadowed scene by
painting it with color is as enjoyable as photographing a
fast paced cattle roundup from horseback. Whether it is a person's
face, a grand landscape, or one of nature's intimate details,
light is the magic that makes the subject come alive!"
