Rodney Lough Jr. – Wilderness Collections Gallery

If you love outdoor photography then you should absolutely stop by here. The gallery is amazing and Rodney’s photos are breathtaking. It is truly hard to believe they are photos at such a large scale. Check out Breathless or Cathedral with the lights up or down and see how the pic changes, truly amazing. Very friendly gallery staff too!

Wow!!! Absolutely stunning images. In a place like Las Vegas, there’s something to be said for a photographer who keeps it real. Rodney has been places and captured amazing light with unquestionable art and craftsmanship. There are no photoshop fakes here. The walls are filled with just the awe inspiring beauty of nature captured through Rodney’s carefully positioned lens. Skip the other photography galleries with their giant fake moons and come here for the real deal. The prints are immaculate and try as I did I could not find an image on the walls with a single technical fault. Do yourself a favor and see the work of a true landscape master.

wonderful artistry. horrible service. good luck trying to buy something either online or via email. no help whatsoever. i’m sure he’s doing very well, but can you imagine…

The artwork is great. Very striking and captivating images that seemingly pop out of the frames with the vibrant hues and colors.
The studio and it’s salesmanship/​service is decidedly less than impressive. I ordered two pieces, Gorillas in The Mist and Tree of Truth. The original art dealer who made our transaction was let go for untold reasons and was replaced by someone else (Mike?). I only know this because I called to get a follwup on the delivery of the photographs because I have yet to hear from the guy who took over the account. I think if someone took over the account, they should be taking the initiative to notify the customers of that change. I basically had been getting no response from the emails I sent to my original dealer, and I had to call to find out what happened.
About four weeks later, I received the Tree of Trurth (alternatively called Wisdom Tree). However, it was only by accident that I received it. I stopped by my local USPS office to pick up an article by another merchant, and to my surprise the clerk brought me a package from the Rodney Lough Studio. I have no idea how long it had been at the USPS office, because I was never notified by Mike, or frankly anyone from this Las Vegas studio that the piece had been shipped out. I wasn’t notified by USPS either, but we all know and expect crappy service from the USPS — the main difference is that I didn’t pay USPS thousands of dollars for a certain level of service.
I am left wondering:
If Rodney Lough Jr. Sells their pieces of artwork as being something of value and something to treasure… Why would they send it via the UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE like its junk mail? Why not give the customer at least an email notification that it has been sent out???
I wonder if the people at the Peter Lik galleries provide better customer service? Something that extends beyond the swipe of the credit card?
I am glad the Wisdom Tree was not lost or damaged in the USPS office, but I certainly expected better service than I have received. Still waiting on the Gorillas in the Mist… hopefully it will be delivered to my door like they originally promised, and not by USPS.

I think Rodney is very talented, with a stunning gallery. As previous Unilocalers have stated, the only down side is the very pushy sales person. The gallery director at first seemed fun and cheeky. But by the end he was using anything he could find to get me to buy a book and print set. I did end up buying it, and will enjoy it. But I recommend he calm his selling technique.

Oh. My. Goodness.
I had to go to one of my lesser favorite places in the world, Las Vegas, for a vendor conference. So I was looking around Unilocal to see what else there is to do between the MGM Grand and Aria just in case I get bored. Being an outdoors lover, i was drawn to Rodney Lough’s gallery, so before one night’s meet-​and-​greet a few steps away, I went here first.
Let’s just say I now have a favorite place on The Strip. I could have stayed at each photo for several minutes. The scenes were from all over the west: Denali, Yosemite, southern Utah, the Rockies. Lots of character in the setup, perfect natural lighting, vibrant colors. Some of these pics are printed so large that they’re imposing on you. It’s the kind of gallery where a painter would do a picture of the most incredible vistas he can think of – but these places exist!
I can see it now: I have several thousand or so to burn, I buy one of these pics by Rodney Lough Jr., put it up in my commodious house, then host the weekly house church gathering, and most of the people would end up standing around the Lough admiring it for a long time, and I can’t get them away to have the potluck or ministry time because they love the Lough so much…
Stop by here, please.

Unilocal 100 Challenge * ²⁄₁₀₀
Rodney’s eye for capturing the splendor and remarkable essence of nature is presented through his awe-​inspiring landscape photographs, compiled together in a neat naturistic-​themed gallery at Crystals Place in City Center.
I meant to drop by here on my own yesterday but ended up spontaneously venturing the area with a couple of girlfriends. The moment we entered, we couldn’t help but gasp at all the colors and relaxing vibe that came with his pieces. Along with a title and short story next to every photograph, we were brought to Rodney’s world and were introduced to these different places through his perspective.
And you don’t even have to be an artsy person to enjoy his work. If anything, a touch of appreciation for nature is all you need. As a bird lover myself, I especially loved the ‘Pondering the Pond’ piece which shows a vibrant sunset glowing in the horizon and on the left is a silhouette of a giant rock with a seagull confidently perched on top of it. It was like love at first sight!
Aside from getting a chance to check out a replica of his 8′ x 10′ view camera, I now have much a fuller bucket list, having searched up all the locations he shot his photographs from. They’ve made me pretty determined to visit them one day (if I can) and check them out for myself!

This is a must see. If your an artsi person you will dig it.

Amazing photography, and a nice, professionally-​displayed gallery. Rodney, you’re one of the few photographers I admire! Perhaps one day I can reach even just a fraction of your skills.
Thank you for showcasing nature through your camera. The gallery helped me open the eyes of a city girl towards what nature has to offer. She is eager to join on my next camping trip to Yosemite.
My humble photography site:

We were wandering around CityCenter and came across this lovely art gallery located across from Crystals.
Rodney Lough Jr. is a wilderness photographer. His gallery certainly showcases his craft– love the organic elements especially the large natural wood «trunks» that are around the space.
His photographs are «natural» and are proudly not digtially altered. We loved looking at the techniques he used to obtain the photographs and could recognize some of areas he’s shot. It was really fun just to look at each other and say «hey we’ve been there!» or «hey we need to go there!». We spent at least 20 minutes perusing his pieces mostly to read the captions next to each work.
Although I don’t think we’d purchase one of his lovely works, his gallery is a great place to wander around. His work is definitely different from Peter Lik’s collection and holds it’s own appeal. If you love Peter Lik’s work, you need to check this place out!
