ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER

"If beauty was only skin-deep, every photograph would reveal the same personality. We create portraits. An artistic expression that goes past the outer layer, beyond first impressions, and into the abyss of one's defining essence." - Carl Caylor

Carl is an artist who prefers to use photography as the medium for his work. His philosophy is that photography is art and family history. Without artistic value, a portrait has no longevity. Therefore, it will not be part of family history.

Carl has been involved with photography for the last 20 years. He started his photographic career in the darkroom as a custom printer and technician. This has proven to be a great asset to his photography and teaching career.

Carl is a Master Photographer and Craftsman with Professional Photographers of America. He has won numerous national awards for his photography, including 14 Loan Collections and several Kodak Gallery and Fuji Masterpiece Awards. Carl has earned several Wisconsin State Awards, including Photographer of the Year two years in a row.

Having begun his teaching career in 1996, Carl has gained national credibility and is now a favorite instructor at photographic seminars and schools from coast to coast. Carl passionately studies art and photography to ensure you the best of himself.
