Denise Strahm is an award winning fine art photographer who captures simple graphic contemporary com

San Diego, California-based Fine Art Photographer, Denise Strahm, is best known for transforming her photographs into visually and emotionally captivating art pieces that invite the viewer to enter, connect with the place and stay for a while.

“Is it a painting or a photograph?”

This question is asked daily at her studio/gallery when visitors see her images. Drawing from her 30 years in graphic design, Denise is able to create simple graphic contemporary artworks that trick your mind’s eye into seeing a painting instead of a photograph. She captures her subject with her camera and then brings the images into her digital darkroom to finish the creative process using her unique vision for the art piece as a guide and to simplify its structure as she deems best for the image at hand. It has been suggested that Strahm might be called a Digital Secessionist, a likeness to the Photo Secessionists of the early 20th Century. Alfred Stieglitz and other secessionists went to some pains to make photographs look painterly and to give their images a feel of something more than a simple record of a scene. Honing her craft since 2005, Denise’s favorite subject to capture is old, colorful, textural and weathered (but charming) architecture, as near as the California Missions and as far as Europe and Morocco.

“Surf Time at Porthmeor Beach”
St. Ives • Cornwall, England

A big and wide beautiful beach that is known for its surfing in St. Ives. Practically has all the waves to himself!

Trafalgar Square
London, England

A lovely view with my back to the National Gallery. Lots and lots of people. The best thing we did was park ourselves on a bench and people watch.

"The Bull and Egret"
Covent Garden · London, England

I don’t know if I have said this before but it seems that when editing my British pub photographs, if I haven’t eliminated at least 10 ci******es on the ground outside of it then it must not be a true pub. This one did not disappoint.

Paris in the Rain
Saint Germain · Paris France

This is a beautiful passageway in Saint Germain, Paris that is a shortcut between two major streets. Sometimes I like people in my pictures. Especially when it is someone holding an umbrella in the rain.

Shoreline of St. Ives
Cornwall, England

Was so excited to go to this little town in Cornwall. Very charming and beautiful! The part that you can’t see here though was the WIND! SO windy there!

La Maison Odette Paris
Paris, France

I was determined to photograph this cute pastry shop across the river from the Notre Dame Cathedral. Thankfully my sister Danette and my niece Rachel came with me because they were nice enough to cover me with an umbrella while I set up my camera and took LOTS of shots of this street scene with Odette.

Prints are available in studio 2 and on my website.

The Hereford Arms
South Kensington • London,England

Another pub where I can see they just planted their flowers. I’m sure by now they are spilling over with blooms!

Moulin Rouge During the Day
Pigalle • Paris, France

I captured the Moulin Rouge in 2016 with the neon lights on. This one is from 2026 during the day. Less pizzazz but still has a quiet but dramatic presence.

Swan Under St. Bonifacious Bridge
(or Boniface Bridge)
Bruges, Belgium

This is what some were calling the “kissing bridge” where couple selfies were the popular thing to do here. Nearly impossible to get a shot with no people. Solution? Once again, get up early!
