The Artist

A graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology  and Winona School of Professional Photography, I had a career as a New York based photo-illustrator (Hastings Photographic Illustrations). During this period I produced advertising photography for many fortune 500 companies and was well published. My work was recognized and exhibited at city, state, and national levels receiving many awards including “Court of Honor", “Best of Show” , and “National Loan Collection”.  As a result, I have been awarded the degree of Master of Photography.  After years in the field, I achieved the highest degree that most professionals photographers strive for “Amateur”.

As a retired professional photographer with an interest in computers, digital photography was a natural retirement avocation. After a twenty year break from photography, I started re-discovering visual art. Free from the confines of ad deadlines, clients, and art directors, I am able to personalize my selection and interpretation of the subject and explore the visual language to my own satisfaction.  -dch
