Civil War Photographs

]]>Civil War Re-enactment Photographs

Reid Mason’s Civil War photography includes Civil War sites and re-enactments. These impactful images capture the dedication of the re-enactors, and the worn-torn emotion of the battlefield.

The Randolph County Community Arts Center incorporated his solo exhibit, “Grit & Determination,” in its 2011 Civil War exhibit. The powerful photos from the show specifically highlighted the 2011 Battle of Philippi re-enactment. That same week, the Intermountain Newspaper, based in Elkins, WV ran a large, above the fold article on Reid and his craft.

Reid takes great care to remove anything in the original shot that is not "period correct". In many cases, hours of painstaking work are required. In some cases, Reid uses special compositing techniques, such as adding dirt, grass and trees in areas that were originally shot on city streets. An excellent example of this is his image "Fire Breather". The shot was taken at the entrance of the Philippi Covered Bridge though which a highway passes. The foreground and the area where the canon and soldiers stand are actually highway, with blacktop and a cement curb. Notice that it's impossible to tell that the gravel and railroad tracks were not originally there.

These Civil War photos and others in his collection are available for exhibitions and purchase. Prints are available in any size, as prints only, mounted and matted prints, or mounted, matted and framed. Please contact us to see more.

]]>Landscapes & Architectural Photos

The world we live in is an astoundingly beautiful place, with striking vistas around almost every curve in the road. Reid Mason of Mason Photographics strives to bring out that beauty in his artistic architectural and landscape photographs.

As an outdoorsman, Reid has a lifelong love of fine art landscapes. As a photographer, he revels in the ability to tell "the story" a thousand ways, using the myriad post production tools at his disposal.

His landscape photography can be purchased as a print suitable for framing or licensed for use in commercial products such as brochures and websites.

In addition, Mason Photographcs provides architectural, and room setting photography for hire for businesses to use in brochures, websites, and other marketing materials.

This type of work is considerably different than his artistic work, providing a level of reality that makes it seem the viewer could walk right into the room or building.

Among both clients and peers, Reid is highly regarded for his unique eye for lighting and ability with effects to bring out the most compelling images.
