Ken’s passion is photography, and it shows in the images he creates for his clients. Ken is also recognized as one of the leading authorities on photographic lighting, photoshop, retouching, workflow, search engine optimization, and color management for photographers.
Ken started messing around with photography in the early seventies, worked a short time for a commercial studio in Philadelphia, and had a small glamour studio in the eighties shooting primarily boudoir photography. In 2002 Ken opened Studio K Photography in
