John Boland has worked in the photographic art field for over three decades, yet his passion and love of taking and making photographs began at the early age of 9 years old. This love of photography in childhood developed and fueled his current professional career.  His passion for photography is apparent both in his discussions about the field in general, and in his photographs.

John’s intimate relationship with the land and wildlife of New Mexico is evident in his work.  His awe and mastery of light breaths energy into his photographs of landscapes and wildlife.  His photographs of wild horses, specifically, also demonstrate a connectedness to the grace and freedom these creatures possess.  Every photograph conveys depth and spectacular beauty which emphasize an interdependence of both man and other creatures, on open land and the ability to be wild and free.  It is rare that a photographer is able to capture such grace, in both the motion anstillness of nature. 

During the course of the past three decades, John has shown and sold his work in galleries, museums, and has represented and sold the work of other photographers.  John is both generous and passionate, which serve to highlight his career and bring joy to others.  The photographs on this website feature a selection of John’s powerful, yet graceful photographs of landscapes and wildlife.  Thank you for your patronage and for your continued belief in beauty, grace, and freedom.
