MOUNTAIN STORM fine arts is the web site of photographer Mitch Baltuch. A photographer for over 30 years, Mitch has amassed a significant collection of images from around the world. Starting in 1972, he has shot nature, sports and commercial work before concentrating over the past five years on fine art photography. Today, Mitch works purely in digital capture and creates his images by controlling the process from capture through to final print.

Usually, photographers publish an "Artist's Statement." This contains lofty verbiage about the artists vision, sometimes meaningful, but usually just buzz words that he thinks will catch the reader's attention and make him out to be a "serious artist." Rather than concentrate on a particular style and class of photography, Mitch's interest in the world around him leads him to shoot anything that captures his artistic attention. From landscapes to wildlife to urbanscapes to abstract patterns, all are fair game. If he likes it, that is art enough. If the public likes it, even better, but Mitch feels that art only comes from the artist pleasing himself. So no overreaching statements about artistic vision and world interpretation here. Just images that Mitch likes and hopes that others like. If you do, great. Please enjoy the images. If you don't, that's life in the big city and thanks for looking anyway.

All prints on this site are available not only as fine art, but also as stock photography. If you are interested in Mitch's work for commercial purposes, please contact him to arrange licensing.
