Logan is a Charlotte-based freelance editorial photographer currently working towards his undergrad in photography at The Art Institute of Charlotte. He contacted us out of the blue and offered to take some pictures in exchange for… well nothing, so how could we decline? And the results are more then we could have hoped for. You can see a few extra photos of our store on his blog.

When you are in the market for professional photography, especially portraits, Logan comes highly recommended, not only for his skills and results but also for his great attitude. Now don’t expect him to work for free, the man has to make a living, we just got lucky.

Thank you so much Logan, and thank you for your service in the Middle East!
