About Wayne:
As a Minnesota based travel photographer and artist, Wayne focuses his skills and energies on landscapes, cityscapes, architectural, nature and portrait photography. His best work comes from images first painted in his mind. He mulls over a prospective image for weeks or months, seeing it from different angles and perspectives, then finally deciding what to capture, he takes action. His images are used commercially by book and magazine publishers, companies and organizations ranging from Financial Services firms, mom and pop Ice Cream shops and The Basilica of St Mary. The images are used to communicate their shared vision and values. Book, magazine and calendar publishers have featured his images in their publications and on their covers.
