My name is Jamie Daubendiek and I was first intrigued by photography from my grandpa who always had his film camera out taking pictures throughout my childhood. From my initial curiosity, I took a class in photography during high school where I learned all of the basics. When I attended Luther College I took another photography class and also had my first digital camera which helped me take a lot of memorable photographs. During that same time I completed the New York Institute of Photography. After college I moved out to Colorado and had a wonderful experience taking pictures of the gorgeous scenery through all of the seasons. I have recently moved back to Iowa and I enjoy taking landscape photographs wherever I travel. I find it fascinating that each photograph that is taken is one moment in time that can never be exactly reproduced again.

My work is original photography predominantly Iowa birds, animals and landscapes, as printed on metal, matted photos and photo notecards.  I have been interested in photography and nature for many years.  I began with film and moved to digital photography, enhancing my skills through workshops and seminars.  I have pursued understanding more of animal and plant biology and enjoy travelling to Iowa state and county parks.

Juried art show history includes Reiman Garden Art Fair (2012-2015), Metro Arts Expo (2011), and Ankeny Art Center (Oct-Nov 2016).  Other shows include Alexander's Photo (Des Moines) featured artist at Gallery Nights (2014, 2015) and Grinnell Regional Medical Center (2015).  Photos are displayed and for sale at the State Capitol Gift Shop, Deck the Walls (Des Moines), and weekly at the Des Moines Farmer's Market.

I became inspired by the beauty of glowing fireflies, when I came to the United States of America. I had never seen this amazing, magical dance of lights, growing up in Czech Republic. As a macro photographer, I started to daydream about capturing the images of glowing fireflies. I wanted to freeze this special moment, when they are glowing. How will they look up close?

For the past five summers, I have spent countless evenings and night hours photographing fireflies. I crawled in ditches and swamps, getting attacked by mosquitoes and chiggers - all to get the best photos. Once the mosquitoes went to sleep, I was able to start enjoying the real magic, fireflies below and stars above. When I photograph fireflies I feel connected to nature and the whole universe. Fireflies are illuminated beings guiding on my life journey.

It is important to me that I portray fireflies in their natural beauty and environment. I use most advanced low-light photography equipment because I have chosen not to use a flash or artificial lighting. My approach allows the glow of a firefly to show in its true luminosity. I do not manipulate the images in Photoshop, I instead preserve the moment in time (exactly as I saw it).

Close up photography of nature.  My adventure with macro photography began with my first digital camera which had a super macro setting. I quickly fell in love with the fascinating and amazing world of nature up close. It never gets boring 
for me as I continually make new"discoveries" through my lens.

I'm often told that I have a unique perspective to which I respond, "just look a little closer and see what I see". From the brilliant color of flowers to comical bugs to the complex world of fungus, macro photography allows me to discover the intricate beauty that exists everywhere in nature.

I am a self taught photographer and have been taking pictures for over 35 years. Photography is a passion of mine. Photography allows me to capture the world around me and share it with others. I print, mat and frame my own work. I am a fine-art nature and landscape photographer. If my photography has a mission, it is this: present images and environments with a unique perspective and awesome light. It may be a lonesome, snow-covered tree on an isolated farm or the bright iridescence of a spring daffodil. My hope is that these images will stir up unexpected feelings and thoughts in you, the viewer.
