MBeck Photography

As you all know, I own a large photography company specializing in children portraiture and action sports and of course various other endeavors (directories, corporate shots, sports posters, etc.).  I’m sure it’s no surprise that these areas are not my passion.  But they are what pays the bills.  Nobody wants to buy a picture of a sunset or a close up of some flower.  While they do sell every now and then as prints, they definitely won’t keep a roof over my head.  But that’s the kind of photography I like.   If all I did was the “business” end of things in photography, I would not enjoy my hobby.  Taking pictures of 400 kids in a day is not fun to me.  Of course if it was fun it wouldn’t be called work

So here is my site, dedicated to the photography I enjoy.  These are the photos that made the “cut”.  All good photographers will tell you that there’s always a hundred or so photographs behind every good photograph.  At least on the “artsy fartsy” side of photography.  These are the photos that earned my seal of approval.  I am very self criticizing in my work.  So it’s a great honor for a photo to make it into this category.  There’s times that I go to a location (mountains etc.) and take hundreds of photos, and not a single one makes the cut.  Of course I keep them, and my wife and kids love most of them.  But like I said, it takes a lot for a photo to stand out to me enough to show it off to the world.

Hope you enjoy my site.  I do this work just so others can enjoy my photographs and feel what I felt as I took the picture.
