Blake Madden Photography is located in Black Mountain, just outside of Asheville, NC, where I've been fortunate to combine my love for the western North Carolina Mountains with my work. Specializing in location photography, I have over 20 years experience as a professional photographer and take pride in my versatility photographing a wide variety of subjects including portraits, business, education, health, medicine, architecture, adventure/sports, scenics, the arts, events and my own personal visions.

My career began as a photojournalist and photo editor. Capturing the "decisive moment" was always the goal then and I continue to rely on that skill today in my commercial work. It is my belief that recording an expression or capturing a moment, beyond the necessary and critical technical requirements of the shoot, is what produces a great photograph.

My work has won over 40 professional awards and has been published in Time, The Wall Street Journal, US, Runner's World, Trail Runner, Sports Illustrated Online, Links Letter, Luxury Golf & Travel, Dow Jones Investment Advisor, The Pfizer Journal, Civil War Times Illustrated, Out Here, NC Today, Our State, Zen, numerous foreign magazines including Men's Health (Germany), and The Best of Photojournalism: 1995 and Exploring Black and White Photography, 2nd edition.

We have been in the industry since 1988.
