Wayne Lambert
Geographic and Ethnographic Photography
Fine Prints for Collectors and Institutions

   Photograph by Kelly O'Connor Williamson

Wayne Lambert is a Colorado-based photographer who has photographed in the Southwest U.S. and Mexico since 1970.  He has studied with Ansel Adams, Laura Gilpin, Beaumont and Nancy Newhall, Roy Flukinger, and Dick Arentz.  Majoring first in photography and later in Southwestern and Mexican geology and geography, he has a rare insight into the landscapes and cultures of these regions.  His photographs reflect his interest in formal documentation, and to assure excellent photographic quality he uses large-format cameras and makes contact prints from 4x5- and 8x10-inch negatives.  No digital techniques are used in the making of the negatives or the prints.  In 2004 he began to print in platinum/palladium, a 19th-century printing technique that produces prints that are considered to be the most beautiful and permanent of all black-and-white photographs.  His photographs are popular with both private and institutional collectors and portfolios of his work are included in several major southwestern collections.
