PENTAX Photo Gallery: Artist Bio

Jeff Bartelt

United States

I’ve been a Pentax-exclusive photographer now for over 15 years. While I’ve used other brands, there is just something about being a Pentaxian that I can’t shake! My artistic interests lay in landscape and aerial photography, but I have been known to take on an occasional portrait shoot just to mix things up. I guess I would classify myself as an experienced amateur photographer that is always learning. My schooling is in mechanical design where I’ve been a product designer for over 20 years. I’m also a commercial pilot. Both fields have lent themselves well to my photographic interests. Photography allows me to express both the artistic and the mechanical side of my personality, while capturing images from some of the most beautiful scenes of God’s creation.
