Rural landscape photography is in many ways similar to photographing urban landscapes. The difference is rural photography is about capturing the “life” in the countryside. Rural landscapes include a variety of geological and geographic features such as: croplands, forests, deserts, swamps, grasslands, pastures, rivers and lakes.  This style of photography serves as a narrative, telling stories of places and lifestyles often overlooked in our fast-paced modern world. Unlike urban landscapes that often focus on the grandeur of architecture and the complexity of human-made structures, rural landscapes focus on the beauty of simplicity.
