Ken Dvorak Fine Art Photography - Seeley Lake

One Hand Clapping Studio and Gallery is home to Ken Dvorak Fine Art Photography, specializing in outdoor/nature photography. Most images are taken in the Crown of the Continent area with additional images taken in Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. I hope to enlarge the number of images from other national parks as time and opportunity allow.

We (my wife, our border collie and two cats) are located north of Seeley Lake. We live on about ten acres of wooded property that is bordered by a seasonal creek and the Clearwater River. It is a very relaxing place to wander.

There is a studio and gallery located in the back of our garage. The studio is where my images are transformed into prints and then matted and framed. Most images are also made into note cards. Matted and framed prints and note cards are for sale in the gallery.

I have been taking pictures for over thirty years. I retired in 2005 and became a year round resident of Montana. It was at this time that I decided to put a little more time and effort into my work. My goal is to be a "fine art nature photographer". For me, this means that the images I produce are something that you will want to hang on your walls. Images that you will be proud to display and show to your friends.

I call my studio "One Hand Clapping", which is a Zen koan that I have always found intriguing. I feel that as one is previsualizing a photo that one needs to move into a state where you can hear the sound of One Hand Clapping. When I achieve that state I feel I capture the best images.

I invite you stop in to see my work or just have a cup of coffee and talk about photography. When you are in Seeley Lake you can see my work at Littlebirds Schoolhouse Restaurant & Gallery, Pop's Restaurant, and Grizzly Claw Trading Co.
