Background

About Monroe Payne

Monroe Payne is an enthusiastic and prolific writer, photographer and creative marketing adviser, as well as a teacher and advocate for new photographic talent."I strive to give my clients the best and most enjoyable experience possible in every aspect of their photography, from the consultation and then through every step in the process, culminating in the purchase and hanging of their image.""As a writer, both in copy writing and travel, I bring a clear conversational personality from the end client's point of view, focusing on benefits and trust." Monroe began to work professionally in 1996 by photographing weddings, then quickly expanded into corporate event and group photography. With the advent of Digital Cameras, the opportunity of photographic creative expression exploded - but the basic principles remained the same. Light is still light, the rules of composition have not changed, and the need for top notch, professional photographers has only increased. In 2011, he began to write commercially creating press releases for varied companies and non-profits in Central NY. The combination of persuasive text and crisp, inviting photography is a winner. Monroe is involved in many professional organizations including PPSNYS and PPA, whose functions are, above all, education of photographers of all levels."As a practicing professional, I consider it my calling and duty to encourage the next generation of photographers by giving them opportunities to show their work and learn from the best." Monroe donates his time to every level of 4-H from local clubs to the National level. He evaluates 4-H entries at the New York State Fair and particularly enjoys the interaction with new talent. Specialties: Creative writing, Copy Writing, Travel Writing, Photographic Art, Portrait photography, custom location and product photography, building decor consultation, image and advertising consultation, public image consultation, teaching, mentoring and motivation.
