Dramatic black and white photographs of waterfalls

Capturing the power and beauty of waterfalls and river rapids

Few landscape subjects are more dramatic than waterfalls. When rivers run fast, their power, their sound, and their beauty is awe-inspiring. All of the waterfalls featured in this post were photographed in the southeastern US (Tennessee and Georgia), not far from Nashville, where Keith lives.

Part of the pleasure of landscape photography is the experience of nature involved in hiking to the locations. Scroll all the way to bottom to watch two videos made on location as Keith visited and photographed waterfalls. Most of the images below are available as fine art prints.
