Bethany Noordmans is a photographer based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She's had a camera in her had since high school, and much of her skill has grown from self-taught experience. While attending Concordia University Nebraska, she took classes as a graphic design minor that would greatly influence her photography and grow her as an artist.
Bethany finds much of her inspiration in nature, highlighting the strong design elements that can be found simply by pausing and observing the environment. As an introvert and an empath, she is drawn to what may be overlooked by many at first glance, and seeks to acknowledge its existence, importance, and beauty. She chooses to edit most of her work in black and white in order to focus on the lines and shape within the image, while communicating a sense of calm and stillness to the viewer.
Bethany seeks to honor and give glory to God, the first and ultimate Creator, and her Savior Jesus Christ.

The heavens declare the glory of God;
    the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
    night after night they reveal knowledge.
They have no speech, they use no words;
    no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
    their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.
It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
    like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
It rises at one end of the heavens
    and makes its circuit to the other;
    nothing is deprived of its warmth.

Psalm 19:1-6 (NIV)
