Mori K. Photography

Mori K. Photography Photographer, geographer, and educator. Based in Colorado, USA. Sharing my passion for our natural world through photographs, one shoot at a time.

I’m a Colorado-based photographer offering photos and fine-art prints of landscapes, nature, and wildlife. All photos are captured and minimally edited by me to remain true to the scene, featuring places from Colorado and my travels. I believe a photograph is not complete until it is printed. While this page shares what I saw through the lens with you, I have also started a store to turn real moments lived in the natural world into tangible, lasting fine art prints. Each photograph in the shop is captured in-camera and edited by me specifically for print, with care for detail, color fidelity, and longevity. I use a natural approach to editing, preserving the authenticity of the scene as it was experienced. Through my work, I hope to share the beauty and thrill of the natural world and bring a piece of it into your space.

Trying, but I think failing, to push the sunstar effect. What do you think? How can a sunstar be made here better?
I also think I forgot to take my CPL filter off, which most likely has added to the glare.
Single exposure. Shadows lifted and dehazed around the sunstar, along with desaturation.

I was thrilled to see the light reflected off the ocean onto the wing underside!
I'm not entirely sure, but I believe this gentle giant might be a white-capped mollymawk/albatross.
Photographed just off the coast of Kaikōura, New Zealand.

I went out to photograph the gannets, but these rocks with the wave breaking over them caught my eye. With the 1.4× extender on, 420 mm was as wide as I could go, so I raised the camera, took a single frame at the right time, and went back to the birds. I forgot I even took this photo, but I like it.

Sometimes one shot is all you get.
