Hi, I’m Alan LaBrecque
(aka photoguyalan!).

My passion for the outdoors began long before I picked up a camera. From my childhood in mid-state Maine to exploring the fields and forests of upstate New York, I have always been drawn to the beauty, tranquility, and endless possibilities of the natural world. Today, with the Adirondack Park practically in my backyard, I find inspiration in its countless lakes, rugged mountains, and quiet wilderness. Whether paddling a canoe across a secluded lake or wandering through the forest, I am continually reminded of the beauty and serenity that nature has to offer.

My journey into photography began nearly 30 years ago when my grandmother handed me my first SLR camera, an old Minolta once used to photograph weddings. I was immediately hooked. Photography gave me a way to capture the places that inspired me and share not only their beauty, but also the feelings of peace, wonder, and connection that come from experiencing them firsthand.

While the transition from film to digital photography has transformed the way I work, it has only deepened my passion for the craft. I primarily photograph the Adirondacks, a place that continues to inspire me in every season, but I also enjoy exploring the landscapes of New England and traveling to national parks throughout the United States. One particularly memorable experience was visiting Yosemite National Park in 2016, during the centennial year of the National Park Service.

My goal as a landscape photographer is to capture the magic of natural light, the character of a place, and the quiet moments that make time spent outdoors so meaningful. Through my images, I hope to share these experiences with others and inspire a deeper appreciation for the natural world.

I am continually exploring new locations, seeking new perspectives, and documenting the changing seasons of the Adirondacks. My work is driven by a simple desire: to preserve the beauty of the places I encounter and share a sense of wonder with those who view my photographs.

Thank you for visiting and taking the time to explore my work. I hope my photographs inspire you to get outside, discover a new place, and experience the beauty of nature for yourself.

I hope to see you out there!
