MEET THE ARTIST

Hey there, I’m Alan Stenback, a landscape and fine art photographer based in Colorado’s breathtaking Rocky Mountains. I capture the raw, untamed beauty of these landscapes—showcasing the essence of the Rockies in my landscapes, mountainscapes and nightscapes.

My work unveils the splendor of national parks and hidden terrains, earning recognition from Rocky Mountain National Park, The Ansel Adams Gallery and Landscape Photography Magazine.

I don’t just capture moments; I immortalize them. My art lives on paper, canvas, acrylic and metal prints, carefully crafted to endure and reflect nature’s timeless allure. You’ll find my pieces adorning galleries, gracing homes and enhancing the atmosphere of hotels, blending nature’s essence with interior spaces.

Beyond Colorado, my love for nature takes me across the sweeping landscapes of the American Southwest, into the lush tropical rainforests of Central America and along the pristine beaches of the Caribbean.

With my wife, Gina, we’re avid explorers—whether hiking, skiing, paddleboarding, or snowshoeing—immersing ourselves in diverse landscapes, from high alpine worlds to tropical wonders. Come join me on this journey through varied terrains and witness the wonder of nature through my lens.

Today we’d like to introduce you to Alan Stenback.

Alan, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.

In college I bought my first DSLR, a Canon Rebel, again 35mm film. I was fortunate to have the Canon with me on a number of trips to exotic destinations like Jamaica and French Polynesia before going back to the compact point-and-shoots as the digital revolution arrived.

It wasn’t until relocating from the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area to Boulder just over five years ago that my passion with the art of landscape photography developed. I remember the specific moment well, when I made the conscious decision to go all-in on photography.

It was one of my first hikes in Rocky Mountain National Park. On the trail to Emerald Lake. It’s a spectacular hike that starts at Bear Lake and climbs past a few different alpine lakes before you reach Emerald. The views of Longs Peak along the way are unparralleled. It was late May, there was still several feet of snow on most of the trail, my wife Gina and I stopped for a snack as we passed Nymph Lake. It was this moment…
