Darr Almeda, photographer

       My visual arts career began over twenty-five years ago in graphic designing and commercial photography. I studied commercial art at The School of Visual Arts, NYC and advertising photography at Portfolio Center, Atlanta. My commercial studio was located in the Atlanta area for fifteen years where it achieved the Professional Photographers of America certification degree. My past clients have included: Kodak, IBM, Fujisawa, Sweetheart Cup, Rheam Corporation, Ritz Carlton, Ernst & Young, The Fox Theatre and many others. My most memorable photo session was with musician Ray Charles. I taught professional photography at The Southeastern Center for the Arts and photography electives for the middle and high school levels. Despite my long career in the visual arts, I retired my commercial studio a few years ago to pursue other interests.

       I began this site in 2006 with the goal of adding favorites from my portfolio files plus newly created works. Adding images can be a lengthy process, so please visit often as the image libraries grow. Today I devote my photographic time pursuing fine art work and shooting for my stock library. My current gear consists of Arca Swiss and Ebony view cameras, Mamiya and Pentax medium format film cameras, and a Nikon digital. Thank you for taking the time to look around.
