Shane Schlager grew up in Colorado, and
moved to Fort Collins for college after
high school. He got a degree in
Mathematics from Colorado State
University.
His father first introduced him to
photography, letting him borrow his old
35mm camera in high school. His parents
also introduced him to the works of
Ansel Adams and Thomas Mangelsen at a
young age.
Shane takes most of his nature shots
while hiking throughout the Rocky
Mountains. His other shots are often
taken in Fort Collins, on the CSU
campus, or in Longmont, his home town.
