Nelson, who has lived in Portland for 35 years, has been a
free-lance photographer for more than two decades. Drawn to
photography in early adulthood by the work of Minor White and
Wynn Bullock, Nelson is a self-taught craftsman. Known in
regional artistic circles more so for his photographs of the
Oregon Coast (particularly the Arch Cape area) the
plastic-wrapped building series stems from his commercial work
for local architects.
Loren Nelson's photographs are in the permanent collections
of the Portland Art Museum; IBM Corporation; Intel
Corporation; E.R. Jackman Foundation for Oregon State
University; and the Beaverton Arts Commission, among others.
His work continues to be exhibited in galleries and museums
throughout the United States.
