Colorful Uniqueness – Ian Ross Pettigrew

I'm a Graphic Designer who happens to take photos. Over 25 years as an Art Director makes a difference in my work. Of course, you can learn technical skills as a photographer, but having a great eye is what really matters.

I'm a Graphic Designer who happens to take photos. Over 25 years as an Art Director makes a difference in my work. Of course, you can learn technical skills as a photographer, but having a great eye is what really matters. I was lucky to work with many great photographers and was mentored by some great creative minds in the advertising industry - it taught me how to work with people, connect with my subjects, and, most importantly, see things with a designer's eye.

You'll see a lot of my work on very bright, colorful backgrounds. I love color and using it to accentuate the person. Most of these images are recent - as you can notice with the one reoccurring model (my girlfriend) - quarantine will do that. One project we have started (still ongoing) is photographing a one-color set.
