About me
Alan Southard, photographing from atop a sailboat mast
My love of photography started with magazine advertising. The best print ads immediately captivate the viewers, identify the brand ethos, and set a mood with a single image. The ads that I was most fascinated by used a model to tell the story. I wanted to make images like that.
At 16, I photographed a friend on a Harley Davidson. She used that photo to sign with a major modeling agency and start her modeling career.That was over twenty years ago, and I still love photographing people. I am a preferred photographer for multiple modeling agencies.
Today, I live near Detroit, Michigan with my wife, two children, and a German Shepherd.
