James Nedresky
My interest in making photographs came about in 1986, when as a partner in an art-glass business, I wanted to learn how to take better promotional pictures of our glass artwork. I enrolled in my first photography class at Pittsburgh Filmmakers, and found that my interest in making a better photograph was to go far beyond my expectations.
I began to acquire a true appreciation of photography as an art form, and the potential power of the single image. Following several classes, I began to create far more professional looking product photographs, both for our business and for other artists who were looking for equally better representations of their work. Yet I kept the more artistic pursuit of photography as a hobby until 1993, when I decided to leave my former business and began commercial freelancing in Chicago.
Moving to eastern Kansas from Chicago in 1994, my interest in the midwestern prairie landscape developed into a long-term personal photographic project, and I began to mix in more of my personal photographic interests into my freelancing. Eventually, the idea of seeing wedding photography as a less-scripted photo documentary became more accepted, and I felt that my personal love of street photography could transition me into a new way of approaching a subject that I had little prior interest in.
Interestingly enough, contrary to being in the age of "photographer specialization", my photographic diversity in other areas, including landscape, travel and art have gotten me many of my wedding bookings from couples who found me through a shared interest in those subjects.,
