Faculty of Professional PhotographersExposures from our richly talented local Yosemite Photographers
Robb Hirsch GalleryRobb Hirsch prefers to photograph away from the crowds, often visiting previously scouted locations off the beaten path. Photography is part of the wilderness experience for him, and by spending considerable time exploring, scouting and waiting for the right light, he becomes more in tune with the area, ultimately culminating in more evocative images. Robb works very carefully in the field with techniques to properly capture the moment, minimizing time needed in front of a computer to “fix” problems. Robb’s images are known for their compelling subjects, careful compositions and fine light.

In 2002, Robb and his wife started Mountain Sage, a combination art gallery and plant nursery and gardens, just outside Yosemite National Park, in Groveland. His photography is also on display online at robbhirschphoto.com.

Phil Schermeister GalleryPhil Schermeister's interest in nature photography was kindled when he started working for the National Geographic Society on an assignment in the Flint Hills of Kansas. In the 20 years since, he has traveled to all fifty states and several countries on more than 30 major assignments. Schermeister has also completed several single-photographer books for National Geographic including “America’s Western Edge” and “America’s National Parks”. Closer to home, his coverage of California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains was featured in a National Geographic book entitled “The Range of Light: California’s Sierra Nevada”. He continues to work for the Geographic and also leads photography sessions for Y explore Yosemite Adventures. He operates Schermeister Photography, a website featuring a collection of his work.

Walter Flint GalleryWalter Flint is 25 year resident of Yosemite National. Born in Milwaukee Wisconsin, Walter first traveled to Yosemite in 1981 when he completed a 790-mile solo hike of the Pacific Crest Trail from Yosemite Valley to the California – Oregon Border. His love of backpacking first brought him to the Western United States and that love of wilderness travel got him interested in landscape and nature photography. Walter is a former Yosemite Mountaineering School guide and P.S.I.A Nordic Ski Instructor. He has climbed many of the great granite monoliths in Yosemite Valley including the 3000 ft face of El Capitan. Walter’s photography has been widely published and he holds an A.A.S. degree in Professional Photography from Colorado Mountain College. His experience in photographing Yosemite, coupled with his history of teaching people to climb and ski make him the consummate instructor / guide for learning how to photograph the natural wonder of Yosemite.

Joshua Cripps GalleryRaised in Sonora, CA, Joshua Cripps grew up with the wilderness affecting every facet of his life. Each summer he returns to his spiritual home in the High Sierra to camp, backpack, and photograph the spectacular views which the Range of Light has to offer. Josh's work has been seen in galleries, art shows, and living rooms across California. He also owns and operates his own web gallery where prints are for sale at joshuacripps.com.

John DeGrazio Yosemite ContributionsLife began for Y explore in July 2003 on the Half Dome Trail when Catherine and John DeGrazio shared a desire to create an adventure company that led park visitors in search of unique Yosemite photo opportunities. John is a naturalist hiking guide and writer, but not quite qualified to be considered a photographer. However, there are many great locations he visits throughout his journeys and here are some images he would like to share.
