"When I'm ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my mind’s eye something that is not literally there, in the true meaning of the word. I'm interested in expressing something built up from within, rather than extracted from without."
Ansel Adams
Hello and welcome to the Sierralara Photography website. I hope you enjoy my photographs as much as I have enjoyed making them. I have an immense love for the outdoors and enjoy discovering new photographic opportunities in places that interest me. My name is Cliff LaPlant and I am an award winning landscape/nature photographer based in Alpine California. I spend a great deal of my time traveling to remote locations, searching for those rare opportunities to capture photographs that are not commonly seen. All of my photographs have been captured using Nikon cameras and lenses and most were created using a tripod, to ensure high image quality. I am currently shooting with the INCREDIBLE Nikon D800 high resolution camera system and my favorite lens is the Nikkor 16-35mm wide angle zoom. Feel free to contact me reference my photography and have a great day!
