Dietrich Gehring is a fine arts photographer specializing in landscapes as well as horticultural and agricultural subjects. He has a degree in Graphic Design from the New England School of Art and Design. His fine art prints are sold through galleries and exhibitions. A selection of his landscapes and agricultural images are part of the permanent collection at the Albany Institute of History and Art. His photography has also appeared in various magazines, calendars and books.

Dietrich was raised on his family's dairy farm in upstate New York and now lives with his wife and young son on an apple orchard owned and operated by his wife's family in Albany County, New York. His agricultural background has been inspiration for much of his work as a fine arts photographer.

His collection of landscape images of the forests and farmland surrounding his home entitled Clear Mountain has been exhibited in several regional galleries and show spaces. Other work includes, From Grandmother's Garden, a collection of luminous images of heirloom vegetables, Farm Animal Faces, a series of engaging portraits of livestock and a large and diverse collection of sunflower images.

Agriculture has also inspired Dietrich's travel photography resulting in a study of Jamaican migrant workers at home and abroad that took him on two tours of rural Jamaica. In addition Dietrich visited post Soviet Russia with a group of American farmers to document the transition of agriculture from collective farms to private enterprise.

His latest body of work, a whimsical collection of images of garden gnomes at work and play in natural settings was inspired by a request from Workman Publishing for a wall calendar on the subject.

The Gnome images will also be on display at the museum of Usti nad Labem in the Czech Republic as part of the museum's year of the Gnome.
