AND About Us

 

Van began his love affair with photography as a child watching his uncle photograph bursting balloons with a Pentax KM.

 

 

In 1978 at the ripe young age of thirteen, Van received a Pentax K1000 camera kit as a Christmas present. Thousands of rolls of film and developer later he met a lovely young lady with a penchant for photography named Amanda. The two made beautiful images together, marrying in 1986. Their free lance business encompassed portraiture, wedding and fine art photography as well as real estate photography for a top one hundred real estate companies in the nation providing agents one day turn around for real estate photography ads.

 

 

The births of their children re-focused the young families lives bringing more joy and less freelance work for a number of years. Their photography skills never wavered with an abundance of photo opportunities the children provided.

 

 

 

AND Technique

 

As digital imaging advanced so did their skill sets. Moving through the early point and shoots to the upper echelon of DSLR cameras, Van and Amanda stay on the cutting edge of technology while maintaining the love of film. Both use digital but can easily craft keepsake memories with 35mm cameras.

 

Shooting in RAW mode utilizing the Adobe color pallet processing images in combinations of Photoshop and image management software, they practice non destructive editing. With years of experience along with their strong film background, AND Images creates custom designed results with minimal post processing.

 

 

 

 

 

AND Mindset

 

Whether viewing the iconic beauty in a landscape, personality under the wedding veil or the unspoken story of an abstract are the results AND Images provides their clients.
