dancers and designers, so it's no coincidence she went to the School
of Visual Arts in NYC to get a degree in Graphic Design. She is truly

conceptual executions.
Craig Meachen – Digital Retoucher

impressive bag of digital tricks that can give your marketing collateral
the competitive edge. These days its not enough to use plain
representational photographs. Today's market requires quality
retouching to create promotional images that are heroic, romantic
and inspiring.
Aaron Muntz – Photographer
Aaron grew up surrounded by the stripmalls, corn and sub-divisions
of suburban Ohio,"The Heart of it All". As a child on vacation in the
Smokey Mountains he took his first Polaroid picture, a family memory
of his parents at Chimney Rock. The cameras have changed since
that first Polaroid, but not his passion for capturing images. His work
has taken him to five continents and landed him these past eleven
years in New York City. Aaron will bring more than just his eye to
each project.
