About Len Saltiel — Landscape & Cityscape Photographer

Meet Len Saltiel

Len Saltiel spent his working years in financial services, taking on a variety of management positions. After leaving the corporate world behind, photography became his true passion. He started out with a GAF film camera in the early 1980s and quickly graduated to Minolta film gear. Family and career then took precedence, and his camera stayed on the shelf for about fifteen years. Nikon's D100 brought him back, serving as his gateway to digital photography. Having spent several years learning the digital format, he now shoots with the D700 (a return to full frame) together with the D300s. Since 2007, when he stepped away from corporate life, Len has dedicated a great deal of time to refining his craft.

What He Shoots and Where

Landscapes and cityscapes are at the heart of Len's photography. His journeys across California, Colorado, Utah and Europe have yielded a rich body of images that you'll find throughout this site.

His Inspiration: Ansel Adams

Len has been drawn to Ansel Adams, often called the father of modern photography, for many years. A few of his favourite Adams lines are: "There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs." and "Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer and often the supreme disappointment." When someone once complained that his images had no people in them, Adams answered, "There are always two people: the photographer and the viewer."
