Alan Hoelzle - Biography

Alan Hoelzle’s evocative landscape photographs are the result of a unique blend of experience and imagination. Entranced by light and color, Hoelzle left his college studies in philosophy to travel the world, from India to Israel, Thailand to Turkey. Along the way, he developed a passion to share his ideas and visions through the art of photography.

Hoelzle’s ongoing search for “spirit of place” has led him to create landscape images of our country’s distinctive natural areas. A native Californian, Alan travels the country in his motor home. His photographs have been described as, “eloquent compositions with magical light, distinguished by vivid colors, dreamy light effects and a well defined mood.”

Alan uses medium format color negatives and a 150-degree panoramic camera to produce his images. He uses natural light exclusively, often waiting days or weeks for the perfect moment.
