In the Spotlight: Yvonne Renee Boyd

The photography industry is built on a foundation of creativity, passion, and friendships. Sure, great images are at the core, but it's the artists we meet along the way who help make each day in the industry a little more special.

Chamira Young and I, together with PhotoShelter, launched a new podcast series on January 17 called "Beyond Technique." Exploring the PhotoShelter website and blog, I was looking at their New Member Shoutouts. The first thing that hit me was the quality of the photographs, and the second, the diversity of the images.

It's time for you to meet Yvonne Renee Boyd, a talented photographer from Atlanta. There's a section of her bio that's typical of so many of the most creative artists we know. Photographers who started their journey in another direction, and along the way discovered photography.

..."she wanted to be a drummer in a rock and roll band...she went to college to study music and after graduation moved to Atlanta, where while realizing her dream of playing music she also discovered her passion for photography.  After spending six years working in the studio of a commercial photographer, Yvonne opened up her own boutique photo lab. A decade later she made the decision to close the lab and began shooting her own work full time. She's been published nationally with advertising and editorial work; her prints have been purchased by private collectors as well as commercial clients...along the way she did play drums in rock and roll bands - still plays today."
