Who are we?

Steve Reiss has been offering fine art photography under the Dalmdad name since before 2007.

Steve's most widely viewed picture is "Lone Tree- Eastern Arkansas" on flickr. The picture has been viewed close to 50,000 times.

Steve's Photographic Philosophy is to fight the cliche. Unlike other sites, that offer 25 slightly different versions of basically the same picture, we only offer the best of the lot...and then, only if the picture is exceptional. We go for bright and well saturated colors and unique points of view.

Steve's Product Philosophy is to produce images of a quality and appearance that are worthy of display in any room and last forever.

For most of those years, Dalm relied on a Minolta Maxxum slr, Kodak film, and the local Photomat. Times have changed. After a head-to-head challenge between film and digital during our 2001 trip to Alaska, the film camera was packed away and never used again. Today Dalm relies on a Nikon d70s dslr, Compact Flash, Adobe Photoshop CS3, and quality professional processing to bring you photos for you to get lost in.

In the short time since going pro, Dalm has had requests to use his images for textbooks, print magazines, travel signs, and two issues of the Shmap online travel guide (Reno and Paris editions). Dalm is a member of the NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professionals) and has had close to 231,000 views of his Flickr photostream.

Joanie is our business manager. She has extensive experience carrying Dalm’s tripod and camera bag, helping switch lenses, reading confusing maps, and convincing me to turn the truck around for and go back for pictures. She also protects Dalm from falling off cliffs or into ditches.

Joanie is in charge of making things run smoothly here and in our lives. Her goal is to help you find exactly what you want.
