Ron Peiffer is a Maryland photographer based in Severna Park. He is the Vice President for Contests for Arundel Camera Club and Member-at-Large for the Maryland Photography Alliance.

His work has appeared in Maryland Photography Alliance gallery shows over the past several years, and he has received the Frederick R. Kelly Photographer of the Year award from Arundel Camera Club.  Ron currently holds Master’s Certificates in Black and White and Color Prints with the Arundel Club and also holds a Platinum certificate for digital images.  He has been certified as a judge with the Maryland Photography Alliance since and has served as a judge for numerous club competitions in the Baltimore-Washington area and in other organizations in the region.. Ron serves on several MPA committees, including the contest, judging, and finance committees    

He currently uses a digital mirrorless camera but shot film for many years before moving to digital.  Favorite subjects include travel photography, nature, youth sports, and family.  While he is active on social media with digital images, he most loves black and white print.

Over the past decade or so he has traveled often to southeast Utah and northern New Mexico to document ancient puebloan sites as well as desert landscapes.   However, a lot of additional travel has been up and down the East Coast, where cities and small towns and landscapes provide an array of color, form and history. “While my subjects vary, I want images to produce emotion, to evoke a memory, or to associate an image with something in the viewer’s life.”
