Ledra Davis

Ledra Davis is an Atlanta-based photographic artist whose greatest love involves traveling and capturing images from the most picturesque places within this country and beyond.  She is particularly attracted to the vastness and rugged beauty of the American West and Northwest.  Any place that fills the heart, touches the soul and alerts the senses is a place Ledra longs to be and to photograph. 

 

Ledra has been a professional photographer for over five years, teaching and speaking in the Southeast and beyond.  As an accomplished photographer well versed in Photoshop and Lightroom, the only thing she loves as much as actually photographing is teaching others about photography.  Leading people in the field and watching the progression of their skills and artistic vision is particularly fulfilling for Ledra.  With her fun, enthusiastic and hands-on style of teaching, Ledra encourages her students not only to push their limits but to also enjoy every second of doing it.
