Meet Frank Carnaggio

My photography career began as a young boy when my parents sent me to Camp Tekawitha for the summer.  My father gave me a popular Kodak camera with drop-in film cartridges and a snap flash. I took photos of everything... the rustic cabins, canoes, the lake, and even the hole in the archery target from where I made a bulls-eye. But the two things that I focused on (excuse the pun) were my “Photo Dissertation” on Birch trees and my “Puppy Portfolio” of the camp’s new puppy. 

My mother ensured I had an open line of credit at the camp canteen in case I needed anything (like snacks). The thing they didn’t know: they sold film at the canteen! When I came home, my father hit the roof when he got the bill from the camp. After he got over the shock of the bill, he realized I had an eye for composition and a passion for photography.  He then began to support me; thus, a photographer was born.

Many years later, my passion has only deepened. Now residing in Birmingham, Alabama I shoot everything from engagements, to pageants, to business professionals. I love taking ordinary images and creatively showing them from a different and/or artistic perspective using light, color, and texture. My passion is to capture and preserve beauty and memories. Even though it’s nice to have my images hung in homes around the country and published on magazine covers…

The most rewarding achievement is the love and appreciation of my clients!
