Bruce McKinley has been creating compelling photographic images for over thirty years. He bought his first 35mm camera in 1974. Just four days later, he embarked on a solo hitchhiking adventure from Southern California to New Orleans for Mardi Gras.

New people, new landscapes, new experiences provided a rich diversity of subject matter for the fledging photographer. "The camera offered me a completely new way in which to view the world. I began to look a little more closely. I started to recognize the subtle, yet profound, beauty in the weed growing through the crack in the sidewalk. I began to appreciate a little more deeply the colors, patterns, and textures surrounding me each and every day."

Bruce possesses a love for the photographic process. His primary interest focuses on the natural world.

Bruce McKinley has lived in Mount Shasta, California for over twenty-five years - a place that feeds him creatively and spiritually. He is a backcountry skier, backpacker, and mountain biker. Bruce holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in sculpture and ceramics from Southern Oregon University, and he is also a writer. He maintains a small stock photography library, and offers services as a photographic guide, talent scout, and location scout. He is also available for assignments.
