ABOUT DANIEL FORSTER
I am Daniel Scott Forster, a Colorado photographer specializing in Fine Art Landscape and Nature photography. Based in Colorado Springs, I capture the dramatic beauty of our natural world, from summer wildflowers and fall colors to starlit mountain peaks. My work is loved and displayed in homes and offices around the world, serving as windows to nature's most breathtaking moments. In one of my most beloved roles as a photography instructor, I have had the pleasure of leading workshops and training hundreds of photographers, sharing my passion and expertise with others on their creative journeys.
My path to photography emerged from a deep-rooted desire to create and share the beauty that surrounds us. Living in Colorado provides endless inspiration, from the majestic fourteeners to serene wilderness scenes. What began with simple sunset photos has evolved into a profound artistic journey, driven by the joy of capturing those magical moments when nature seems to embrace us - like when the sky explodes with color at sunset or when alpine meadows burst with wildflowers. Each image I create aims to tell a story and forge an emotional connection with the viewer.
The most rewarding aspect of my work is its impact on others. Nothing brings me greater satisfaction than hearing how my photographs have moved someone emotionally or brought the peace and beauty of nature into their daily lives. Through my fine art prints, workshops, and mentoring, I strive to not only showcase the magnificent landscapes that surround us but also to inspire others to see and capture the world's natural beauty in their own unique way. Every shoot is a new challenge, every location a new canvas, and every student brings a fresh perspective that enriches this ongoing creative adventure.
My photography work has won multiple awards, been published in various outlets, and was featured as the cover photo of Landscape Photography Magazine.
