Landscapes and Still Lifes

Please select a category to view samples:
European subjects
American subjects
flowers: close-ups

The villages, countryside, and people of western Europe provide remarkable subjects for a photographer. Here, you’ll find sweeping scenics in addition to offbeat shots of geranium-laden window boxes, Old World doors and storefronts, and dozens of other subjects that convey the quaintness of Europe without the crowds. But when it comes to natural beauty, nothing matches a New England autumn, so you’ll also find shots of Vermont at its vermilion best.

Ordering Information: Photos are available as glossy prints directly from the photographer. For personal use, 8-by-10 prints are $35. For editorial use, there is a reproduction fee of $100 for North American rights in addition to the print fee.

To purchase a print or to inquire further, please contact Billy Deal by email or at 803-788-2460.
