Welcome to my photography website! I'm Cal Mukumoto, a photographer based in the beautiful North Willamette Valley of Oregon, in the charming town of Silverton, just south of Portland. My journey with photography began in Southern California, sparked by my father, an Art Center graduate who instilled in me a love for capturing the world through a lens from a young age. His early lessons in composition and visual storytelling laid a foundation that, while perhaps not fully appreciated then, proved invaluable.
Life has taken me through diverse landscapes, from the Redwoods to the Colorado Rockies, to the Oregon Coast, to my current home. My experiences working in forestry and with American Indian Tribes have deepened my appreciation for the beauty of nature and people. After a hiatus, I enthusiastically rediscovered my passion for photography, embracing the exciting possibilities of the digital age.
This website is a collection of my photographic explorations, a testament to a lifelong fascination now fully reignited. Here, you'll find various images reflecting my perspective and the beauty I encounter. I offer prints of my work and am also available for select client projects.
Beyond photography, my professional background includes forestry and management consulting. If you're interested in learning more about that aspect of my career, you'll find a link to my LinkedIn profile above. For a more frequent glimpse into my recent work, please visit my Facebook and Instagram pages, also linked at the top.
I'm thrilled to be on this creative journey and am continually inspired by the world around me. I'm always open to new opportunities, collaborations, and discussions about photography. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you connect with my work or have a project in mind. Thank you for visiting!
