Jeff Alwes
Monthly Spot Light Photographer
Jeff Alwes was born in Nashville Tennessee in 1994 and always had an interest in photography. As a teenager, he visited Yellowstone, Yosemite, Acadia, Sequoia, Glacier, Rocky Mountains, and other national parks on family vacations. The natural world in pristine condition was always amazing to him. His photography journey started with a trip to Yellowstone, shooting the sky with an Olympus 35 mm film camera in 2006. From there, he upgraded to Nikon Coolpix digital camera and continued to shoot through high school and college. Upon graduation from college, he was offered a position as a Field Engineer which promised a life full of travel. The hours were long but moving around the country at a moment’s notice kept his adventurous side satisfied. During his career he has lived in Alabama, Florida, New Mexico, Tennessee, Utah, and Virginia. Photography turned into his passion. Jeff Alwes would visit National and State Parks, forests, rivers, canyons, and explore random dirt roads. He always says, “It is better to see something no one else has seen, than to see something 10,000 people see every hour.” The unexplored areas of the American west are his favorite. His subjects range from the stars in the western Rockies, springs in Florida to the waterfalls in Tennessee.
