Taos photographer


In 2006, Michael DeYoung Photography moved from Eagle River, Alaska south - and up - to an altitude of 7,400 feet just outside the adventure and ski town of Taos in Northern New Mexico. It is here where he bases most of his outdoor adventure, fitness, and travel lifestyle photo shoots while still traveling to nearby states and to Alaska for assignment work and personal projects.
