Photographer, Retoucher

I've always loved photography and got my start back in the 90's doing professional edits and retouches on pictures for a company that made the large 4 color negatives for printing presses in the advertising world. I even had to mix special inks for making the master proofs from the negatives we made. From there I went on to consumer photo developing and became one who was very often requested to personally develop and print photos because I took extra care to do as much correction as possible to make everyone's photos from a point and shoot camera look amazing. I didn't have alot of money to shoot photos and pay to develop the film myself so when the digital cameras finally started to have decent image size, I got my first camera and started shooting photos of anything I thought ws interesting. Over the years I've been able to upgrade my camera, lenses and add a couple flash pods for professional shoots or creative lighting. I've done some professional work but mostly for family and friends.

It is a very rewarding experience to see something special and be able to capture that moment so that others can see it as well. I never go anywhere without my camera because you never know when the next special moment is going to happen.....
