Emmitt Booher
Mesilla Morning
“I seek to discover and reveal, through photography, the natural world that sometimes goes unnoticed. My goal is to evoke mindfulness and contemplation within the observer. ”
Emmitt Booher is a Native New Mexican, born and raised in Eastern New Mexico. He spent his childhood living and working on a small ranch, which he credits for cultivating his appreciation of the landscape, history, and people of New Mexico and the Southwest. He volunteers his photography skills to non-profit and conservation organizations in the interest of promoting awareness and common sense approaches to land and wildlife well-being.
He has served as Artist-in-Residence at the Organ Mountains - Desert Peaks National Monument in New Mexico, and at MoMaZoZo at Carrizozo Colony in central New Mexico.

“ I choose to present my photographs in black and white. This is not only an artistic decision but also driven by the need to remain true to my original visualization of the world.”
