A life long resident of New Jersey, currently residing in Kinnelon, I have had a love affair with photography since joining the college newspaper in 1971. I am primarily self taught, although I have and continue to attend many photography classes and seminars.
My special areas of interest are; travel photography, nautical scenes, including images of the Jersey Shore and views of Manhattan, As well as taking photos, I also edit and print in my digital darkroom allowing for complete control of the final image. Prior to the digital age, I would spend countless hours in the chemical darkroom producing black and white prints.
In addition to exhibiting and selling fine art images thru different venues in North Jersey, I am a professional event photographer with NYC Photo Party, ( www.nycphotoparty.com ),covering private and corporate events in NY and NJ. My past experience include, child portraits, photojournalism and promotional photography.
In my images, color is a major aspect of my work, it is as important as the subject itself. My goal is to use the natural light, often optimizing it with the use of polarizing filters, to best saturate the colors in the final print.
All images are available for sale. Please contact me directly for options, sizes and pricing, or for info on event photography services.
I hope you enjoy viewing my galleries. Ed McHugh
