Saxon Holt Photography
Not only did Good Garden Photography win the Silver Award from the Garden Writer's Association as the best e-book, it received the gold as Best Book Overall. Writing about 30 years of garden photography, photo assignments, personal art explorations, and stock photo library. Licensing garden photographs for publications, art prints, and e-books is found at PhotoBotanic.com.

This website serves as my calling card, place to share my favorite photographs from many years as a garden photographer. It has been a thrilling ride, learning from some of the absolute best gardeners, designers, and landscape architects in the business. I have been honored and humbled to visit many of the best gardens in America as I have learned to celebrate plants found there.
Services
A life-long gardener, Saxon Holt spent his professional time as a commercial photographer until 1985 when he discovered the gardening market and could no longer stay indoors. He quickly developed a reputation as a photographer with a distinct vision and understanding of plants and landscapes.

His work has been featured in diverse publications from Architectural Digest and Pacific Horticulture Magazine, to Smithsonian and MoneyMagazine along with most major book publishers, as well as calendars, newspapers, and note cards.His work and his own books increasingly focus on the relationship between gardens and the land, seeking a sustainable aesthetic that can enhance both gardener and the earth - Garden Earth.
Workshops postings generally come from my book: "The PhotoBotanic Garden Photography Workshop". I offer garden photograph workshops all around the country. Built around my book "The PhotoBotanic Garden Photography Workshop" and the photo lessons at the Learning Center at PhotoBotanic.com, the workshops offer an opportunity to sharpen your skills and focus your concentration with an assignment.
I am not just a garden photographer - I am a gardener. Here you find thoughts and observations on gardens good and bad, sustainable and over-the-top, my own garden or those I visit. Gardening Gone Wild is bringing back the Picture This photo contest and since I am the judge I may as well follow up my own advice: ". a chance to look back at a whole year of photos and get your files organized."
Between 'reality' on the one hand, and the point where the mind strikes reality, there's a middle zone, a rainbow edge where beauty comes into being, where two very different surfaces mingle and blur to provide what life does not: and this is a space. I see what I see, even if I can't show it very well on a blog.
When I just feel like rambling or ranting on philosophy, photography, or figments of my imagination. Let's actually do something about climate change. The Green New Deal is an actual plan. Support it. The climate has changed: recent fires in California, early hurricanes in the Gulf, Canadian ice shelves breaking off into the sea.

Beautiful photography of landscapes with identities of many of the plants.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality
Acknowledged by many of us in the horticulture and landscape design fields to be a master of his niche. Generously volunteers his time and images to worthy causes, and is a great teacher as well.
