I have an education in commercial art and began my photography career
with a three-year stint as a photographer for the McCrory Corp starting in
1966.
I then worked for Print-O-Stat for 13 years in the graphic arts department
as an artist, cameraman, graphics designer and photographer.
I managed the microfilm department for Print-O-Stat for three years.
In 1981 I started The Image Makers Studio by photographing weddings,
portraits and local fashion models. My work has been published in several
magazines. I have experience with large format, medium format and
35mm film cameras as well as digital cameras. I have experience in film
developing color and black and white and for more than 13 years
processed and printed all the studios clients prints from wallet size through
16x20 as well as printing for other local photographers.
Several local radio stations used the Image Makers Studio for
photographing visiting celebrities. Over the years I have had the
opportunity to photograph B.B. King, Reba McEntire, Wayne Newton,
Conway Twitty, George Jones, Vern Gosdon, and others. After 18 years in
south central Pennsylvania, the studio had grown to three full time
employees and five part-time photographers with an in-house color
processing lab. I decided to move south to enjoy the warmer weather and
be closer to family relocating the studio in the wonderful town of Tyrone,
Georgia. I currently continue to focus on high-quality, creative digital
wedding and portrait photography..
