About Monte:

Monte Nagler began photographing seriously after studying with Ansel Adams. "It was during that period of intensive work that I realized that making photographs is a way to experience beauty instead of just looking at it," Nagler says. He believes that photographers should communicate feelings that are inside them. Through their photographs, a photographer should be saying: "This is what I saw and felt and I'd like to share that!"

Monte's photographs, which have won numerous awards, are found in many private and public collections including the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Grand Rapids Art Museum, the University of Michigan Museum of Art, the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson; The Brooklyn Museum; Dayton Art Institute; The State of Michigan; Nikon International; The Ford Motor Company; General Electric Corporation; Daimler Chrysler Corporation; General Motors Corporation; BASF Corporation; Compuware, IBM and President George Bush. Galleries and agents throughout the country also represent his photography.

Monte is a noted writer, lecturer and teacher of photography. He has conducted many classes and seminars throughout the states. Not only has he written a nationally syndicated photography column, but he is also the author of four highly successful photography books: "How To Improve Your Photographic Vision", "Statements of Light", "Monte Nagler's Michigan" and "Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam - A Photographic Journey". Frequently, he is called upon to judge contests and to speak on photography topics on local radio and television shows.
