Rebecca Estep moved from Florida to Northern New Mexico in 1983.  The stark beautiful landscapes, delicate flora, and diverse wildlife moved her to use photography to document the drama of this enchanted land.  Inspired by English photographer Edwin Smith, she has worked to emulate his dramatic yet serene style. Rebecca studied landscape photography with Kent Bowser and photographic and darkroom techniques with Duane Monczewski at the University of New Mexico. She credits them both for their excellent tutelage and guidance.
