Born and raised in Colorado,Turner’s photography journey began in 2010 with a vision to see the world differently, to capture the fleeting moments that most people pass by. Faced with health challenges, he developed a new way to approach his art: as a “roadside photographer.” Rather than scaling mountain peaks or trekking rugged trails, Turner found beauty and emotion in the accessible landscapes just beyond the roadside, proving that powerful images don’t require grand vistas, but rather only a mindful eye and a genuine connection to the world around us.

Inspired by Henri Cartier Bresson’s belief in “the decisive moment,” Turner strives to capture those rare, perfect instances when light, emotion, and perspective align. His work reflects a deep respect for authenticity, creating images as they are seen through the lens, not heavily altered afterward. With multiple publications and awards recognizing his work, Turner continues to pursue his passion for crafting images in-camera, revealing the world’s beauty as it naturally unfolds.
