Blake DeBock Opens First Gallery in Mammoth Lakes

In a monumental step on his 27th birthday, Blake officially opens the doors of the Blake DeBock Gallery in The Village at Mammoth Lakes, CA—a place deeply intertwined with his journey as an artist and adventurer.

Nestled in the heart of the Sierra Nevada, Mammoth has been his playground and the source of his creative energy since childhood. Now, with his gallery standing in the very town where he's spent his formative years exploring, photographing, and chasing the perfect light, his story comes full circle.

Following in the footsteps of legendary landscape photographers like Ansel Adams and Galen Rowell, who paved the way for mountain imagery before him, Blake carries on the tradition of capturing the raw, untamed beauty of the Sierra Nevada and beyond. From the high alpine meadows of the Sierra to the windswept glaciers of Patagonia, his lens preserves the spirit of these wild landscapes, continuing the artistic legacy that first inspired him. But this is just the beginning. For Blake, the gallery is more than a milestone—it’s the launchpad for a lifetime dedicated to creativity, exploration, and sharing the awe-inspiring grandeur of the mountains.
