Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I am blessed with beautiful landscapes everywhere I look. My goal is to bring back the beauty I see all around me both in nature, and in everyday life in the city.

I currently live near Seattle, Washington and will most likely stay here until one day when I move back home to Portland.

My work has been published in magazines and books including Outdoor Photographer & DigiPhotoPro and my images have been licensed for professional use by businesses across the US including Travel Oregon, the US Postal Service, The Portland Japanese Garden, Where GuestBook, Intel, and many others.

With friend and fellow photographer Zeb Andrews, I offer group workshops throughout the year in various Oregon & Washington locations and also offer private group or 1 on 1 workshops as well. If you are interested please click on the Exposure Northwest Link Below or send me an email for more information. Exposure Northwest is sponsored by LEE Filters, Nik Software, Think Tank Photo and other smaller businesses. Discounts are offered to our workshop participants.

If you have a question about any of my work please feel free to ask. I am not secretive about composition, locations, processing or anything else for that matter. Life is way too short to be worried about what other people think.

My best advice that I can give to any new photographer is simple. Keep shooting and try new things. Whether you like or dislike an image is not important. WHY you like or dislike the image is what matters. If you approach the way you view images this way...both yours and others, you will cut your learning curve in half, doing away with making needless mistakes more than once.

    "Aaron is one of the most amazing photographers I know. He has this amazing ability to compose such interesting photographs, even of the most clichéd places. And just when you think you’ve seen the most spectacular photo ever, he posts another one! I constantly look forward to the next photo he posts. I’ve even found myself shouting “Yippee!” out loud when I notice a thumbnail from him in my contact’s recent uploads. And, just so you know, I don’t think I’ve ever said “yippee” before I discovered the work of Aaron Reed. That’s how great of a photographer he is.
    Not only is he an amazing photographer, but he is also one of the nicest people on Flickr. I appreciate the feedback I receive from him and am amazed that he would take the time to comment on my stream. His comments are always so nice and helpful. I was even lucky enough to attend one of his workshops. Since then, I have found that my photography has improved a lot. If you’re considering one of his Exposure Northwest workshops, I urge you to go. They are so helpful; you will learn a lot and come back with many great images."

    "I believe Aaron is on a quest of learning, in life, as well as through his incredible photography. He is another one of Portland's many fine artists and his journey behind the lens is going to take him for a nice long ride. Each day, I look forward to his newest creations and I am grateful for the viewing, as it helps me understand more about my own efforts!"
