Justin Schmauser has been taking photographs for
more than 7 years.Starting with disposables (which produce much
better pictures than one might think) and continuing on to a Minolta
film SLR, and finally to his current Nikon digital SLR, he has been
learning and growing as a photographer.
In high school he was the Photo Editor of the school newspaper,
and also took pictures for the Yearbook. The summer of his senior
year, he interned at a local newspaper, The Issaquah Press, under
the Lead Photographer.
After working with the digital cameras in high school and at the
Press, he finally purchased a Nikon D50 and began delving into many
different areas and styles of photography, including: landscapes,
plant life, infrared, HDR, and most recently, animals and macro.
Justin is 20 years old and lives in Renton, WA, with his mother,
sister, and girlfriend. He is currently showing and selling his
photographs at various venues over the summer, and plans on going
back to school in the Fall of '09 to get a degree in Commercial
Photography.
