Bio I'm a registered architect of some three decades, but have been taking photos since my brother and I convinced Dad we wouldn't drop his Argus C-3. &nbsp;I’ve been doing it professionally since 2009. Graduated from the University of Kansas with degrees in Environmental Design and Architecture; studied sculpture at Kansas City Art Institute; earned certification in secondary education at Avilla College, Kansas City.In addition to my independent work, I was the in-house photographer at Populous (formerly HOK Sport) in Kansas City from 2006 to 09. &nbsp;And I (at one time) was certified to teach high school chemistry. &nbsp;Long story.

I've been struggling a little with this apparent dichotomy. &nbsp; Today's conventional wisdom seems to favor specialization.&nbsp; "Who would hire a part-time plumber? or brain surgeon?”&nbsp; But what about the Renaissance man — wasn't he a good thing?&nbsp; Do we all really want to be pandas and eat nothing but bamboo?As this relates to photography, the establishment wants to rain upon us a similar advice: produce a consistent body of work.&nbsp; Within the field of art this (in my current thinking) feels like an unreasonable constraint, and not one that is universally rewarded.&nbsp; My favorite painter is Richard Diebenkorn who famously progressed from representational to abstract expressionist to figurative work, and finally to his own geometric Ocean Park series.&nbsp; My earliest and most lasting influence in photography was Harry Callahan, whose work and subject matter varied wildly over his career.All this is to say that I have decided to make a bold leap against some of the stuff I'm reading, and to continue my photography of both architecture and of people, concurrently.&nbsp; And of telephone poles and walls.&nbsp; All my diverse interests and energies will be made manifest and will continue to be visible at this same web-site.&nbsp; It might appear inconsistent, but it's all photography isn't it? &nbsp;And isn't photography specialty enough? https://aarondougherty.com/Sign-Up-for-Monthly-Mailing Wed, 05 Mar 2025 22:03:13 +0000 Aaron Dougherty Photography https://aarondougherty.com/Sign-Up-for-Monthly-Mailing #mc_embed_signup /* Add your own Mailchimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.
