About David Pettit

The landscapes of the southwest challenge photographers to create images that avoid reducing the scenery to a cliché or a postcard picture. Working in and around Zion, Bryce, Grand Canyon, and Grand Staircase-Escalante has shaped my artistic philosophy. I’ve come to believe that the camera simply cannot accommodate the scale and magnificence of the landscape, so I aim to create a more intimate view and capture those fleeting moments that give the land its spiritual quality.
