Jeff Walton

I am a photographer and designer currently living in Atlanta. It seems like forever ago, but while studying graphic design at Ringling College of Art and Design, one of the requirements was to take an intro photography class. I had a decent 35mm SLR as a gift from my parents and that got me started shooting black and white film. I just fell in love with the whole process from shooting to processing my own film and developing prints in the lab.

When I graduated in 2004 I accepted a job as a graphic designer at a full service advertising agency. I worked with a team of creative directors, art directors, copy writers and account managers producing everything from print collateral to TV spots and long forms. I continued down that path but never stopped pursuing photography on the side, when traveling, to document my life and sometimes support my design work. Eventually I decided to start doing photography as a part-time job which allowed me to grow as a professional in the field and encouraged me to finally leave my full time job and start Jeff Walton Photography.

Since January of 2014 this is all I have done. Shoot pictures. Edit pictures. Send to client.
