for 13 years in the graphic arts department as an artist,
cameraman, graphics designer and photographer. In 1981 he started
The Image Makers Studio by photographing weddings, portraits and
local fashion models. Dwight's work has been published in several
magazines. Dwight has experience with large format, medium format
and 35mm film cameras as well as digital. Dwight has experience in
film developing color and black and white and for more than 13
years processed and printed all the studios clients prints from
wallet size through 16x20 as well as printing for other local
photographers.
Several local radio stations used the Image Makers Studio for
photographing visiting celebrities. Dwight had the opportunity to
photograph B.B. King, Reba McIntyre, Wayne Newton, Conway Twitty,
George Jones, Vern Gosdon, and others. After 18 years in south
central Pennsylvania, the studio had grown to three full time
employees and five part-time photographers with an in-house color
processing lab. Dwight & Carolyn decided to move the family south
to enjoy the warmer weather, relocating the studio in the
wonderful town of Tyrone, Georgia. Dwight, Carolyn and the Image
Makers team of photographers continue to focus on high-quality,
creative digital wedding and portrait photography..
