Photographer Nancy O’Gorman specializes in capturing vignettes and scenes in and around Sutter Creek and the wine country. She calls the project "Sutter Creek Treasures".
"There are so many charming, historical buildings to capture downtown," she says, "and how can you beat the beauty of these foothills?" O'Gorman is the featured artist for the month of May at the Sutter Creek Gallery.
Most of O’Gorman's images are shot using HDR (high dynamic range), a technique that uses three different exposures blended together to capture detail in both highlights and shadows in color digital, making the colors pop. She also favors images in black and white and often these are of the Sierra Foothills with moody fog and stark trees.
O’Gorman is a native of San Francisco and has been photographing people, places, and things since 1972, when she studied photography under Marion Patterson at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills. Her father John Gorman was her best inspiration; he lived in Sutter Creek from 1995 to 2005 after retiring from the “San Francisco Examiner” as a 35-year staff photographer. O’Gorman has worked as a photojournalist and freelance photographer and has been published in several newspapers and magazines over the years. Her favorite photographic activity is taking pictures of Sutter Creek scenes.
