In the past, we have showcased examples of landscape photography, which includes photos of mountains, valleys, plains, lakes, coastlines, and a variety of other types of landscapes. Deserts may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of subjects for landscape photography, but even a barren desert provides opportunities for beautiful photographers.

In this post, we’ll showcase 20 outstanding examples of desert photography from a variety of different photographers. Hopefully, these snapshots will serve as inspiration for your own work.
