Museum-Quality Redwood Tree Photography Prints For Homes, Hospitals & Offices
Coast redwood trees (Sequoia sempervirens) are the tallest living organisms on Earth. The tallest trees in the Redwood National and State Parks can grow to nearly 400 feet in height due to ample amounts of rain from 60 to 140 inches annually to frequent fog due the close proximity to the Pacific Ocean. Coast redwoods only grow within a narrow range mainly along California's coast and parts of southern Oregon. The native coastal redwood range has shrunk significantly over the past 150 years mainly due to logging and poor sustainability practices.

Redwood Photography Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best time to photograph redwoods?
Early morning during fog season (May through August) offers the most dramatic lighting. The fog acts as a natural diffuser, creating even lighting and adding atmospheric depth to compositions.
How do you capture the full height of redwoods?
Ultra-wide lenses (14-20mm) are essential or you can stitch multiple photos into a panoramic, but composition is key. I often include foreground elements for scale and use vertical formats to emphasize height. Sometimes backing away and shooting from elevated positions helps capture complete trees.
