Chuck Savage Photography
About
I'm a seasoned professional with the personality and talent to capture memorable photos of all kinds of people from all walks of life, indoors and out, at work or at play.
What are my specialties? With over thirty years of experience as an independent commercial photographer there's not much I haven't done. My stock photography has been published worldwide in brochures, magazines, books, posters and on television and websites. I have four coffee table books of my photographs published by college clients and featuring not only students, faculty and staff, but campus architecture, atmosphere, sports and social events.
Making photographs is what I love to to and fortunately I’ve been good enough at it to have made a successful career of taking all kinds of pictures. But what I love most is creating pictures that bring out the best in those people I have the privilege of photographing.
Today, without the financial burden of a 5,000 square foot studio with employees and marketing budgets, I don’t need to work as frantically as I once did and can now enjoy the jobs I couldn't afford to accept at one time. So if you appreciate the value I can bring to your photography job, then I’m you’re guy.
