I hope you take a few moments to browse my photo gallery. Please linger, relax and enjoy. You may SEARCH my images using keywords. When VIEWING, you may want to click on "slideshow" to enjoy the photos in a wonderfully detailed large size. Twelve more galleries are below.

You can check pricing and available sizes by clicking "Buy This Photo" above the image. Selected photos can be easily managed and/or deleted from your "shopping cart". If you are interested in purchasing multiple photos from a particular gallery, simply click on the "Multiple Photos" button above the photo. When you are done selecting photos and/or merchandise, click on the "View Cart" button. You can change quantities and order additional photos or merchandise from your cart.

My printing partner, SmugMug offers an excellent guarantee of your satisfaction. If you are unhappy with your prints or gifts, Smugmug will reprint or refund your order, whichever you prefer.

COMMISSION ME:

If you might want to commission me to photograph a particular subject or project, contact me at jeff@jefflowephotography.com. I'll listen carefully as we discuss your needs and ideas. I don't photograph weddings or other such important events. I take the kind of images you see in my galleries...with me calling the shots, no pun intended.


MAKE A CONTRIBUTION:

If you would like to contribute to my photography fund, please email me at jeff@jefflowephotography.com. I'm always seeking money for gas and campgrounds. I'm not a gadget freak and don't have to have the latest, fanciest gear so your contribution will be spent wisely.


PERMISSION TO USE:

My photographs are COPYRIGHTED and ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. They can not be used in any way unless you get my permission first. This includes but is not limited to: blogs, textbooks and other written media/books, magazines (print or web), or any retail, wholesale, corporate, training, educational use either for profit or non-profit purposes. I often say yes to requests for the use of an image, but only to those who ask first.



PERSONAL STUFF ABOUT ME YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO KNOW:

I have a few dreams:

DREAM 1 - Two Premiere Exhibitions

Are you affiliated or have connections with a gallery and able to help fund and launch two key projects?

1. "Suicide Tide" is based on my exclusive and never before exhibited photographs documenting a man's suicide when he drove off a cliff into the Pacific Ocean. Compelling and powerful!

2. "Letters To My Mom" would be based on original, very personal, compelling letters sent to my mother when she was a child after she was sent out of Austria by her parents to escape certain death during World War II. The letters document Mother's last correspondence with her family who were exterminated without her ever seeing them again.

DREAM 2 - Mr. Lowe's Discovery World

Do you have a desire to help children discover photography and the arts? Are you...

>...able or do you know others who can provide financial or other resources to help school children discover photography and the arts?

>...able to provide long term, free... gallery/studio/retail/industrial/commercial/warehouse space in Los Angeles's South Bay or, in other art hubs such as downtown Los Angeles, the Westside, Culver City, Long Beach, San Pedro, NOHO, West Hollywood or a newly evolving area?

>...connected with someone who can help in a substantial way? Perhaps a private or public entity...a corporation, school district, city department, realtor, investor, venture capitalist???

>...able to, or know someone who is a whiz in funding and or in creating/building computer driven, programmable and other electronic ways of displaying digital photographs and integrating point of sale and on-site printing?

>...a visionary with guts, determination, and a get-it-done attitude and matching abilities?

As a photographer and California certificated teacher, I would like to open Jeff Lowe's Discovery World as an innovative artist's cooperative studio/gallery/outreach space to benefit children and artists.
Discovery World would:

a)...display my work and that of other photographers and artists in not only traditional ways, but also in 21st century computerized, interactive, multimedia displays...from laptop based, programmable image sets to be displayed on flat screens anywhere in the DW space. Touch screens would enable visitors to search and view all photo images (and other artists' works) in various sizes (including framing option views), and then to order/pay/ and receive their selections immediately.

b)...be open to schools as a field trip destination and to the entire community when not used as an educational venue for school children. DW would provide curriculum guides and dynamic, interactive, participatory outreach programs to encourage a love of photography and the arts.

c)...provide a rotating artist(s) in residence.

d)...create artist and student art shows, exhibitions and events which would engage guests especially youngsters and their families.

e)...provide a place for artists and school children to sell their creations.

A space that is open, airy, spacious, high ceilinged, with concrete floors, lots of natural light, and is 5,000 square feet, weather tight and has all utilities/AC/heating is preferred. Ideally, an undeveloped/unpaved space with water and electrical adjoining the DW would be used to eventually create a "Discovery Garden" for the school children which would be used in achieving the DW's overall mission.

I would love to discuss concepts/ideas with benefactors, supporters, technical folks and designers...doers and anyone able to provide free space, ongoing funding, or other assistance to bring the Jeff Lowe Discovery World concept to reality.

DREAM 3 - Road Trip America

I would like to take 2-3 week road-trips over a few years through every state in America. Traveling OFF interstate highways to take photos that reflect America's people and their spirit, stories, special personal and community events, meals...America's people from coast to coast.


CAN YOU HELP?
Please contact me if you or anyone or any entity you know (public television, galleries, visionaries, foundations, grant writers, documentarians, studios, etc.) would like to discuss underwriting or helping accomplish any of these projects.



MORE PERSONAL STUFF ABOUT ME THAT YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO KNOW:

I'm just a regular guy trying to capture images I like. I prefer simple, genuine folks without pretense or big egos who aren't self-absorbed and who:
~ demonstrate a selfless desire to help others
~ possess a healthy dash of humility
~ display a genuine appreciation of their good fortune
~ apply a healthy dose of tolerance
~ share a glimpse of their intelligence
~ possess and demonstrate common sense
~ share a wittiness and refined sense of humor
~ use literacy well
~ enjoy an inquisitive and patient nature
~ exhibit an ability to laugh at oneself
~ aren't fearful of displays of affection in word and deed
~ appreciate reasonable fitness
~ and,
~ hold precious and protect nature's glorious bounty

I love nature but don't get to enjoy her often enough since I live in the dense urban jungle of Los Angeles. I love driving deserted back roads or wandering the path less traveled exploring what lies around the next bend. If you feel compelled to label, stick me with 'naturalist humanist all around good guy'.

I also love touring appreciative folks around...in California or anywhere else and preferably off the beaten path. Giving folks a bit of happiness brings me pleasure. I'd love to be able to make a living offering private, uniquely designed tours. So, if you want to retain my services, contact me. My current rate is $500 per day plus gas and expenses. But, sometimes I'll tour folks around for gas money. Okay, I've never accepted money from anyone for guiding them and do it for free. But, if you insist on helping me buy beans and toast and maintain my frugal existence, I might accept some bucks if you can afford it but only after us playfully dickering back and forth. I've been known to offer and then take total strangers (who usually always become fast friends) to see giant redwood trees or on a quick day tour of Yosemite, Los Angeles or elsewhere. If you want to take you or advise you on photography locations, again, contact me at jeff@jefflowephotography.com

THANKS!
Thanks for stopping by for a visit. Please visit often, you are always welcome.
