Hi Zelda,

Thanks for your interest in my photos. Besides being an author, I'm a professional photographer. I specialize in nature, landscape and cityscapes, but have a general understanding of product and still life photography. All the images on this site and used for my books were taken and are owned by myself. I have a few software programs to adjust images and some of them can help create “paintings”. All of my book titles are painted to give them a slightly surreal feeling. That includes the author image as well. People that know me well are not surprised that I’m using a skull as a motif for my writing. Skulls, ravens, and skeletons have been part of my style for decades. The reddish orange quill is an element that I’ve borrowed, as it just seems appropriate. Is it weird that the objects (other than the food) are objects that I have around the house? Yes, that includes the skull.

You can view or buy prints of my professional photos on mMitchell.com.
