Host a Traveling Exhibit

Clyde’s heartfelt commitment to record precious landscapes and peaceful sanctuaries throughout the world finds a common ground between all viewers. His photography has been seen in United States’ museums as well as internationally: at the National Gallery of Art in Prague, Czech Republic, and while servings as the United Nation’s official photographer for the Cuban ‘Year of the Mountains’ conference.

12x20 View CameraLRHe’s been called the next Ansel Adams by Popular Photographymagazine, awarded as a humanitarian for acting for the betterment of his community, and recognized as a conservationist for bringing issues to the forefront of people’s minds through his artwork. The majestic beauty, boldness and depth of Clyde Butcher’s photographs have earned him recognition as the foremost landscape photographic artist in America today.

Clyde Butcher’s epic monumental photographs (up to 5′ x 9’) capture America’s landscapes by revealing their majestic and sacred spiritual beauty. His work is hallmarked by his silver gelatin hand-processing of each photograph, taken with one of his many large format view cameras, ranging in size from 5″ x 7” to 12″ x 20”.

Honored by the state of Florida with the highest award given to a private citizen, The Florida Hall of Fame Award, he is also privileged to have received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the North American Nature Photography Association, the Distinguished Artist Award from the Florida House Embassy (Washington D.C.) and the Ansel Adams Conservation Award from the Sierra Club for showing excellence in photography and contributing to the public awareness of the environment.

More than 10,000 people have viewed Clyde’s 2012TEDxSarasotaYouTube presentation, and he has been featured in six PBS programs focused on the Florida environment, three becoming award-winning documentaries. His work is captured in multiple table-top books, including America the Beautiful, a collection of work from across the United States;Big Cypress Swamp ~ The Western Everglades; and Portfolio II ~ Florida.

HOW DOES HE GET THOSE SHOTS

Each dramatic landscape is the reward of patience, perseverance, and determination.039c Blue Cypress Lake 5 Clyde KLR Clyde will wait for hours until the light, clouds and composition come together. Carrying camera gear that weighs up to 120 pounds, he crosses difficult terrain, stands in chest-deep water for hours, and occasionally risks his life on steep mountain slopes. Although Clyde will always be identified with the Everglades, he is deeply committed to recording natural beauty throughout the world.


    ALBERTA FALLS 2 1997 | Being an Artist-in-Residenc ALBERTA FALLS 2 1997 | Being an Artist-in-Residence in a national park situated at an altitude between eight and twelve thousand feet is a breathless experience for a “flatlander” from Florida. The altitude wasn’t the only breathtaking experience; the views were absolutely stunning and there were photographic opportunities at every turn.

    TAMIAMI TRAIL 3 1992 | Rarely do people think of w TAMIAMI TRAIL 3 1992 | Rarely do people think of wild flowers when they think of Florida, but we have many beautiful varieties. I captured this image of a storm gathering over a field of Swamp Lilies a few weeks after Hurricane Andrew had hit south Florida. The ‘stress’ the hurricane put on the environment caused an abundant explosion of wild flowers throughout the Everglades. I was pleased to be able to capture them in their fullness to share with others.

    CIGAR ORCHID 2003 | Getting to this orchid in the CIGAR ORCHID 2003 | Getting to this orchid in the Everglades National Park wasn’t an easy task! We had to climb our way through the white mangroves until we reached a mosquito infested salt marsh. Hurricane Andrew had ravaged the area and over the years the sun bleached the dead trees. In that entire environmental trauma, the cigar orchid hung onto life and grew into one of
the largest cigar orchids I have ever seen. It is about eight feet across! I was very fortunate to see it in its full bloom.
