Don Reichert

Photographer, Don Reichert, a native of Fort Collins, Colorado, first became interested in this exciting field as a teenager. While in college he participated in numerous photo classes and outdoor photo workshops and seminars and soon found an interest in outdoor photography. He quickly developed the fundamental skills and keen eyesight to capture unique photographic images, particularly landscapes.

Don spent a 37-year career in the federal government. Many of those years were spent functioning in wildlife biology and forest ecology research positions with the US Forest Service. During his career, he worked extensively throughout the Central Rocky Mountains and other adjacent habitats, further enhancing his photographic skills. His extensive travels throughout these regions have allowed him innumerable opportunities to photograph wildlife species, mountain and nature landscapes and wildflowers throughout all seasons of the year. After retiring from the federal government, Don took his hobby and photographic passion to the next level and started his own photography business with his wife. Now, as a professional photographer with over 40 years of experience, Don focuses on outdoor landscapes, floral, nature and wildlife photography, including mountain, desert and plains scenery, native wild flowers, birds, mammals, plus a variety of domestic and tropical flowers including lilies, daisies, roses, orchids, and hibiscus.

Don's photographic work has taken him throughout the United States capturing the beauty of the Rocky Mountains; the east coast, including Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Maryland; the Midwest; the desert southwest; coastal areas, the west coast and Pacific Northwest, plus Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and the Caribbean Islands.

Don is well respected for his abilities to capture scenic views of interest throughout the four seasons. He also partners in a business that provides aerial photographic commercial services and/or photographic landscape images for clients. Don's images draw praise for their quality, creativity and presentation, and are displayed in several galleries, along with businesses, government, medical and educational facilities. His work has been accepted into several juried art shows and is a participant in a number of these well recognized art shows throughout the year.

Don and his wife, Gale, are co-owners of 2 R's Photography in Fort Collins, Colorado. Their company will reproduce, mat, and frame any photograph to meet the size and requested specifications of the customer. In particular, they have developed a perspective of high quality framing and matting that complements every photograph. Their original work can also be shipped upon request.
