About Deborah DeKoff:
Deborah is an intrepid explorer and as such, ventures out frequently with cameras in hand. With an open mind and wandering eye, she searches for the gifts of nature both in the Wasatch Back and in her travels.
Strong compositions, the play of light, shadow, and color; and the ephemeral are found in Deborah’s images.
From abandoned structures, rusty vintage autos, and gorgeous landscapes, fleeting time stands still to be held forever in a photograph.
Recognized for strong composition in black and white imagery by Kodak spurred her on to capture images for over four decades. Her award winning work has been published in a multitude of magazines and is on display in private collections.
Currently, Deborah is a staff photographer for four regional publications and is Park City Photographers.

About Johnny Adolphson:
Johnny Adolphson is a fine art landscape photographer, photography workshop instructor and photography guide, a skier, a climber, a husband and a father of two boys based in Heber.
His photography is dedicated to capturing the beauty of the American West. Johnny is snapping away as life unfolds before his eyes. He considers himself fortunate to live in Utah where the mountains meet the desert and he’s always exploring and searching for new views and vision. His passion for the outdoors drives Johnny to wake up early and greet the day. Photography is the medium he chooses to share his experience and the beauty of the world how he sees it.
You can purchase Johnny’s work printed on canvas, acrylic, Chromalux metal and paper. He works directly with a local print lab choosing the media type and the frame for each image that he sells.
