Works of art by various Artist's.

Being a photographer entails lots of different subjects: People, objects, and landscapes. when I am not focusing on event photography, portraiture or my fine art photography, I love to document work for local artists here in New Orleans. It is a great way to really learn about the arts and the artists. I have met many amazingly talented artist's this way. I am able to document their work for them as well as provide them with advertising and website images. These are some of my favorites from local artists as well as other artists that I admire...
