Lance Ozier’s Bio
Lance Ozier is a passionate, experienced amateur photographer originally specializing in landscapes and weather – things that New Mexico has aplenty. Over time, he has expanded his photographic comfort zone to include dynamic live events ranging from rodeos to bicycle races to opera dress rehearsals and publicity photos.
Lance has taught a beginning digital photography class at UNM Continuing Education for twelve years, and has served as the photography “coach” on numerous Road Scholar photography tours in Utah and Arizona. His landscape photography has been used in educational and professional websites based in Israel and Sweden, and his opera photography has appeared in ABQ Arts, the Albuquerque Journal, the Santa Fe New Mexican, New York Arts (an international journal for the arts), Opera America, the Financial Times (U.K.) “Weekend” section, the WFMT-Chicago website, and on numerous professional opera singers’ websites.
