Dave Turning
New Mexico’s beautiful, rugged scenery is preserved in the images of Las Cruces photographer Dave Turning. His landscape photographs are rich with texture, featuring everything from the roughness of rocks, thorns, and tree branches, to the softness of clouds, fog, and sand dunes. He grew up in Alamogordo where his passion for photography sparked when he “borrowed” his dad’s 35mm camera. Embracing digital image processing, Turning mastered the intricacies of image manipulation and enhancement. Now retired, he finds joy in exploring nature and seizing moments through his camera, portraying them uniquely through his lens.
