Michele Sons is a full-time fine art landscape and nature photographer, writer, and educator originally from England and currently based in southwest Virginia in the United States. Her background in geography and environmental science, her taste for adventure, and her highly diverse and extensive travel experience uniquely position her to connect with both the Appalachian landscape she calls home as well as landscapes across the world. Michele’s work is based on a soft, subtle, pared-down aesthetic. Fog, mist, and soft light are intrinsic elements present in many of her images.
Michele’s clients include National Geographic, The Wilderness Society, Great Smoky Mountains Association, Eastern National, and The Appalachian Trail Conservancy. Her work has been featured extensively in the National Geographic Beautiful Landscapes calendars, she has participated in group and solo museum and gallery exhibitions both domestically and internationally, and she has collaborated with non-profits on editorial work in support of America's national parks. Her work has been featured in numerous local and regional print publications as well as highly regarded websites. Michele recently served as 2022 New River Gorge Creative-in-Residence at our nation’s newest national park, and is a 2023 recipient of the Inspired Creator Grant.

RIVERSONG: Creative, Holistic Approaches to Photographing New River Gorge is Michele’s first ebook, available for purchase on her website.
Her anticipated second instructional eBook THE ART OF FOG: A Primer for Expressive Landscape and Nature Photography in Fog will be released in the Fall of 2023.
