About Artist

Bill Wages

I’m a landscape and wildlife photographer based in Auburn, California, with a deep passion for capturing the natural world in all its beauty and mystery. My work is inspired by a lifelong appreciation for nature and the endless stories it holds. Through my photography, I strive to share the sense of wonder, peace, and connection I feel when I’m behind the lens — so others can experience the world as I see it. All of my images are professionally printed, matted, and framed by myself in my Auburn studio. I offer a variety of sizes and mediums, including archival papers, fine art canvases, metal, and acrylic prints, using only museum-quality pigment inks for lasting color and detail. Custom printing services are also available, with a wide selection of archival papers and canvases to choose from. My photographs are on display at several Northern California galleries.
