Hello, I’m Gregory A. Dunbar (I prefer Greg for short) and have been a photographer since 2002, winning several awards for my landscape photography over the years and being publicized in various newspapers and magazines.
I was born and raised in Central New York, and I found my love for photography at an early age. My love for the outdoors, combined with my ability to see the exquisite beauty in nature, have produced a ever-loving passion for creating landscape art. I earned my Associates Degree in photography from Onondaga Community College, and love landscape and nature photography. You can see some of my work at my own personal website, www.GregDunbar.com.
I like:
* Nature
* The Outdoors (Fishing, Hunting, Camping, etc…)
* Water
* Photography
Hi there! I’m Colleen M. Burns, born and raised in Central New York, and have been doing portrait and wedding photography since 2001. Toting around a camera since the age of nine, I discovered my love for portrait photography when my children were very small. Unhappy with the quality that retail studios provided, I started doing their portraits myself.
In doing so, I realized how fun and rewarding it was to capture the emotion and essence of a person’s character. Before long I was being asked by friends and family to do portraits. When an unfortunate circumstance made it impossible for a photographer to shoot a wedding, I was frantically asked to fill in. It was that day that I found my love for wedding photography, and decided that this was what I wanted to do. To further my education, I attended Onondaga Community College, and earned my Associate’s Degree in Photography.
My Likes:
*Coffee
*Anything Green
*Documentaries
*Art History
*Cats
My Dislikes:
*Precipitation
*Having my picture taken
In their quest to learn more about photography, and to improve their skills, Greg and Colleen met in their second semester of college, in a photography class they both were taking together. Recognizing each others unique talents, styles, and passions, they quickly found they had one thing in common – the desire to make a living doing what they love best. Working together for several semesters on class projects and assignments, Colleen decided to ask Greg for help shooting a wedding. They worked very well together, and enjoyed it so much that they decided to venture out, and begin their own photography business. The rest, as they say, is history. They’ve been “attached at the hip” ever since.
They work fabulously together, but ironically Colleen and Greg are polar opposites.
- Greg is quiet, and Colleen does all the talking.
- Colleen is a morning person, and Greg is a night owl.
- When one is hot, the other is certain to be cold.
- Greg is more technical, and Colleen has an overwhelming attention to detail.
(Which annoys Greg whenever they have to design anything together.)
Somehow, though, they manage to bring out the best in each other, and feed off of each others strengths. They work together, and in their differing approaches, create a variety of works of art, that their clients love and cherish. It’s quite evident, that Colleen and Greg, are perfect examples of that old saying… Opposites really do attract!
