Welcome to my website and blog! I hope you get some enjoyment from viewing the photography and books on the site. Thank you very much for visiting.
SOLD - I just sold a large canvas wall hanging of my "Braveheart Lion" image below. I took the photograph in Africa. During post-processing I used various techniques to make the image look like a painting. When printed on canvas, which has a somewhat rough surface, it really looks like a painting! Very cool. This particular image is part of a series called "Safari Heaven," which includes a number of different images of different animals from the safari using this "painterly" technique. If you are interested in purchasing a canvas wall hanging of this image, go to

At other locations in this site, you can purchase greeting cards, tote bags, coffee cups and other items that made great items for yourself or for gifts. For example, some people have purchased a set of 6-8 of the matching floral coffee cups as a gift and others have purchased 6-8 coffee cups of different safari animals. #africa #safari #lion #greetingcards #totebags #coffeecups #fineartamerica #printswap #theprintswap #dailyshowcase #thedailyshowcase @greatescapepublishing #greatescapepublishing #painterly @theotherartfair #theotherartfair #beinspired #bejoyful #beinspiredandjoyful #creative
Here is a photo of five other "Safari Heaven" photos that my husband and I have hung in our home. My husband purchased them for my birthday!





SOLD - I sold another photo today! I sold my Zebra Portrait. I took this close up photograph of the face of a zebra in Africa while on safari. During post-processing, I placed the photograph on a solid black background, which made the zebra's face "pop" with the black and white stripes. For the greeting cards of my zebra photos, I sometimes use the following quote: "To the white horse the zebra said: 'I am white too,' and to the black horse: 'I am really black.'" - Namibian Proverb.

Updated information. This "Zebra Portrait" has been very popular. I sold three copies of it at my May 18, 2019 Solo Exhibition at the Husar Fine Art Gallery in Beverly Hills. For more information about the Exhibition and the interview I have to be aired on national TV about my artwork, click on the following link, which will take you to a recent blog I wrote about the Exhibition: https://www.kaykochenderferphotography.com/blog/2019/6/opening-night-of-my-solo-exhibition-at-the-husar-fine-art-gallery

SOLD - I just sold a large canvas print of this photograph that I took after patiently waiting for about an hour (well maybe not so patiently) for a hummingbird to be still enough to get a shot of the hummingbird in mid-air. You would not believe how fast hummingbirds move around. I finally staked out a spot and waited for a hummingbird to come to me, rather than trying to go to the hummingbird since by the time you would get to the hummingbird, it would be long gone. I was thrilled when I finally got the shot! And the purchaser of the photograph on canvas loved to image and is going to hang it in a special place in her house. #hummingbird #fineartamerica #printswap#theprintswap #dailyshowcase #thedailyshowcase @greatescapepublishing @theotherartfair#beinspired #bejoyful #beinspiredandjoyful

I recently sold four of my water lily photographs to the Mark Taylor Salon, which are hanging along a wall in the salon. One of the owners of the salon made the following comments about my artwork:
"Kay’s photography is stunningly beautiful. I purchased four pieces of her photography, which are a series of water lilies that Kay photographed at the Huntington Gardens. Kay has turned the photographs into masterpieces by using some techniques that make the images look almost like paintings. The images are printed on metal, which makes the colors incredibly vibrant. The images are hung along a wall in my salon, which we now affectionately call the “water lily wall.” Customers of the salon often comment on the beauty of the images, which, of course, makes me very happy.” - Susan Bell, Mark Taylor Salon
Here are the four water lily photographs that were purchased. If you are interested in purchasing any of these photos in the form of wall hangings or greeting cards, tote bags, etc, visit me at https://fineartamerica.com/featured/yellow-water-lily-with-reflection-2-kay-kochenderfer.html.
