Justin E. Tedford, a passionate artist from an early age, began his creative journey exploring the realms of painting and drawing. It was during those formative years that he stumbled upon a darkroom, its red light casting a magical spell. Instantly captivated, he fell in love with photography and aspired to become a photojournalist. However, fate had other plans. Influenced by the idyllic landscapes of his grandparents' farm and the rural expanse of Iowa, Justin's lens gradually shifted towards capturing the essence of nature. Today, residing in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, with his wife and daughter, he traverses the Midwest, preserving the fading memories of agriculture and rural beauty through his evocative landscape photography.
