Antwon McMullen is a self-taught Pro Photographer with a few years of experience making professional photographs. Around 5 years ago, he began making everyday stock images and selling them on microstock websites (i.e., Adobe Stock, Shutterstock and Pond5) for extra income. This helped him to learn his DSLR camera and develop an eye for what makes an image interesting.

camera Sony A7 III

I have always been fascinated by the power of photography to capture the essence of a moment and convey emotion through imagery. After discovering photography while traveling, I became hooked and have been practicing and honing my skills for over 5 years. I find inspiration in the natural beauty of the world around me, and love to experiment with different lighting, composition, and editing techniques to create unique and captivating images. My formal training in filmmaking has also given me a deep understanding of storytelling and visual communication, which I bring to my photography. I am constantly striving to learn and grow in my craft, and look forward to exploring new techniques and styles in the future.

Hey everyone! I'm Ana, photography is my passion since childhood. It's something that I can't seem to stop doing and always hope it will bring more joy into my and other people's lives. People recognize my passion for capturing all the emotions and transforming them into the lasting memories. I started working at a small photography agency, but after some time I decided to go on my own. My pictures always transmit happiness, love and beautiful moments that people want to remember forever. That's the secret, to always see the good side of things and capture it with the camera to show everyone how wonderful life could be if we pay more attention to the positive things around us. As a photographer, my work will continue to bring joy for many years to come.

I love to create! I have been taking photos for about 8 years now, started taking it more seriously about 4 years ago. I have traveled across the country in cars older than I am with one goal in mind - To capture beautiful, real, genuine moments of people and the world they are living in. There is no better way to train or practice photography than driving 5000+ miles and seeing nearly every sunrise and sunset over a 3-week period. I have lately been shooting live concerts and events, in addition to working on studio work with some of these artists.

How did you get started with photography

I was always surrounded by photography equipment since my grand father was one before I was born. It wasn't until I turned 22 that I finally started looking for a creative output and have been doing it ever since.

What do you love about your job?

I love capturing emotions and giving people satisfaction with the work I provide. I always take every job personal since my main goal is to deliver something that me and the clients will love to share with the world.

What are some of your favorite places in Chicago to take photographs?

I love downtown Chicago especially around the reflective buildings since they provide an amazing bounce of light I like taking advantage of it.
