More about Bud F....

What do you love about your job?

Bud loves telling stories and photography allows him to do that with his own ideas and talent. He enjoys going on photo road trips with only one lens to see what he can capture. Since the majority of his experience was shooting film... where you have to get it right or fail, the new digital cameras make photography more predictable, and fun for both the photographer and the client.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

In my long career, Bud has shot car wrecks, police investigations, house fires, court room scenes, criminals, weddings, babies, old couples, winter sports action, high school and college sports, extreme sports, road trips... His lifetime experiences has given him a unique perspective, but the client usually has the best ideas. So no matter what, there's always going to be great results.
