THE GUIDES

Jon Fuller

Jon has been exploring and photographing the Moab area for more than 30 years and has been a Moab resident since 1992. He is a working free-lance stock photographer, represented by stock agencies in London, Tokyo, and the U.S., and is a member of the North American Nature Photographers Association (NANPA). His first published photo was a two-page spread in National Geographic Magazine in January 1983. He has since been published numerous times world-wide, from the Singapore Times and Ranger Rick Magazine to Geomundo and the Insight Guide Books. He was most recently featured in the Showcase section of the May 2008 issue of Outdoor Photographer magazine.  His work also appears in the Ancient Images Greeting Card line, http://www.ancientimagescards.com./. He has traveled extensively internationally and has photographed in more than 40 countries, but his favorite subject is still the Colorado Plateau. He has planned and guided small private photographic tours to England & Scotland, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand, but is concentrating now on local tours in the Moab area.

Jon is founding partner in the Moab Paper Company and was a member of the board of directors of Moab Paper until its recent sale to Legion Paper. Needless to say, his fine art prints are printed exclusively on Moab Paper’s Entrada Fine Art. He shoots primarily in digital 35mm, but still uses film for certain subjects.

He has a great sense of humor, loves meeting people, and works hard to ensure that you have an enjoyable and safe experience with Moab Photo Tours, while working to help you get the ‘shot of a lifetime.’ He loves to share his knowledge of photography and the Moab area with anyone who will listen!

Chris Conrad

Chris came to Moab 10 years ago to work as a seasonal park ranger and canyoneering and rock climbing guide. After being injured in a serious climbing accident, he took up photography as a safer hobby and discovered a real talent for it. His work has been published in magazines, catalogs, and advertising brochures. He is also an Emergency Medical Technician and worked for four years as director of the Moab’s E.M.S. and ambulance service before resigning to pursue a full-time career in photography.

Chris is the owner of PetroScans, http://www.petroscans.com/., a full-service professional scanning and fine-art printing studio based in Moab. A portfolio of his work is also found on the Petroscans website. Chris is extremely knowledgeable in the intricacies of Photoshop, digital scanning, and giclee printing. He provides digital reproduction services for many of Moab’s local artists and photographers. He has taught workshop classes on Photoshop, digital workflow, and fine-art digital printing. He shoots in all formats from 35mm digital to 4x5 large format and in both color and black and white. He is very creative and continues to work on developing new photographic techniques. Chris has an outstanding eye for composition and knows where to go to get that “show-stopping” image. He is very personable and enjoys teaching other people how to do what he knows how to do so well.
