About
The Author
Trey Ratcliff is an artist on a somewhat quixotic mission to help spread consciousness and mindfulness to the world through photography and creativity. Running the #1 travel photography blog in the world, StuckInCustoms.com, has taken him to all seven continents over the past decade. Google has tracked more than 140 billion views of his photos, all while he’s been building a social media presence with over 5 million followers across social media platforms.
Chris Anderson, curator of the TED conference, called Ratcliff a “pioneer” of the now ubiquitous genre of high dynamic range photography. Ratcliff’s photograph, Fourth on Lake Austin, was the first HDR photograph to hang in the Smithsonian Museum. Subsequently, sales of his large format, limited edition prints to fine art collectors worldwide have grown into a multimillion-dollar business. In 2012, Ratcliff moved his photography business down to Queenstown, New Zealand (before moving there became a trendy doomsday contingency plan). He now lives there with his wife, three children, and a dog named Blueberry.
