Reverence (Expanded Edition 2024)

“Keep Close to Nature’s Heart . . . and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clear.”' — John Muir, 1838–1914

Nazraeli Press is pleased to announce our remastered and expanded edition of Jeffrey Conley’s second monograph, Reverence. Originally published in 2018, Reverence sold out upon publication and has since become a collectible and sought-after monograph. This new edition features 11 additional images as well as the original 50, all reproduced duotone to the highest standards on natural Korean art paper.

Known for his meticulously crafted black and white prints, which have been widely exhibited and collected in the United States and abroad, Jeffrey Conley has been the subject of four monographs and seen his work exhibited and collected by public and private institutions throughout the United States and Europe. Conley lives and works in the Willamette Valley of Oregon.

This new and expanded edition of Winter is printed in duotone on natural art paper, bound in linen, and is limited to 1,500 copies.

For as long as I can remember I have felt most at peace outdoors. Nature has always been my refuge and sanctuary. I find the natural world to be endlessly wondrous in its range of character and texture, from moments of delicate intimacy and subtlety to the massively expansive and powerful. Nature is in constant change, and photography is particularly well suited to capture and amplify the swirling fluidity and the wonderfully serendipitous moments born of the ephemeral. Photographing nature is a very specific kind of exercise in mindfulness; to be out in nature with senses responsive, keenly aware of circumstances and completely receptive, yielding to the present. The photographs in this book represent some of my observations while investigating nature over these last several years; moments that represent my awe, wonder, and affinity towards our Earth. — Jeffrey Conley
