For most of the last 20 years I've always had the latest camera and video camera and dabbled in both fields for fun. I made an enjoyable living as a dog trainer and groomer for over 20 years but two years ago I decided I wanted to do something different with the next 20 and went back to school. Currently I am working on a BS in Film Production.
I am an education junkie and have immersed myself in learning the craft. I don't take pictures because I have a camera, I use a camera to create art. I have a camera because I love to capture memories that will last our lifetimes and beyond. I love being able to use both natural light and other light sources to create the look and feeling I want. I love shooting on-location and in the studio. Not being at the mercy of Mother Nature allows me creative freedom. I absolutely adore doing big production photo shoots- working with a crew to make a concept come alive!
Make sure to check out one of our classes if you are a photographer hobbiest. Our "I have a nice camera- I just don't know how to use it class" has been quite popular! Photography has become an affordable hobby for people, and accessibility to decent equipment and online information has contributed to it's popularity. But there is nothing like hands-on instruction with a live person, and a class you need to physically go to, to give you the kick in the butt you need to actually read your instruction manual (and help you interpret the seemingly foreign language it's written in).
FORK studios is unique in the Chippewa Valley. With a background in both Photography and Filmmaking, we are able to offer you services and products you won't find with other photographers in the area. Please browse the website and call or message me with any questions you may have. Or come in and share a cup of coffee and we can chat about your needs. I look forward to meeting you!
