Jeff Sagar Photography
About
My passion for photography was sparked by my uncle at the age of 12. After earning enough money from many summer lawn mowing jobs, I was able to buy my own 35mm camera and have been photographing ever since. I have been photographing for over 50 years now, but I was not a photographer by profession. I’m now retired from a 40+ year career in Information Technology and am concentrating on capturing fine art landscape and nature images. I also teach photography classes, and photograph real estate, couples, families, high school seniors, and events. What I love about photography is that it's a beautiful melding of something fairly technical that also engages the artistic part of me. For me, photography is really all about the journey – exploring new places, learning and experimenting with different techniques, and meeting interesting people along the way.
