Phil Schmauder

Phil is a self-taught, Southern Nevada fine-art photographer specializing in high-impact desert wildlife portraits and military aviation imagery. 

Raised in Oregon and a Las Vegas resident for over 50 years, Phil captures the raw power and motion of the American West—from the dramatic, high-contrast profiles of bighorn sheep and native birds of prey to precision aerospace in flight. His work emphasizes sharp detail, natural form, and dramatic light, isolating subjects to highlight their unique character. 

His open and limited edition prints can be explored online at PESEditions.com and archived at PESEditions.art
