Reed Pike Photography


My photography started as an adolescent passion that led me to shoot for the U.S. Navy and Stanford. Those years were a masterclass in technique, but eventually the constant demands tamped down the spark. I put my cameras away for thirty years.

It was the iPhone that finally pulled me back; its ease made photography feel like "play" again. Today, while my work is rooted in the precision of the digital process, I’ve recently found myself wandering back toward analog film. It’s a bit of a full circle—a reminder that a creative path is rarely a straight line, but I’m just happy to be back on the trail.
