Andy Berggren

Andy began his journey as a photographer while earning a Bachelor of Arts in Radio-TV-Film at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. After graduating, he came to Milwaukee in pursuit of a career in video production. While continuing to work on his photography portfolio he soon realized that this was where his true passion lies. While specializing in architectural and fine art photography he continues to cover all aspects of the medium. His re-creation of famous images through the use of LEGO has gained attention and defined him as an innovative and unique photographer. 

Adrienne Dyer

Two of my great loves in life are travel and photography. I eagerly stumbled upon my choice of subject as a recent high school graduate. Not realizing how big a part of my life photography would become, I initially took photos of places that were foreign to me as a way to journal my life. That focus quickly changed into a passion for photographing the adventure of difference experiences. The anticipation of the unknown, and the thrill I get when I find a new perspective on a culture inspire me. 

M Randall

I find myself looking for that unique shot that digs deeper into the obvious.  It is usually a close-up that reveals details of an object or setting that is most often missed or unattainable by a passing glance.  I am attracted to weather related opportunities, in which the subject or objects can vanish rapidly.  I consider myself a “new-purist” who enjoys digital photography, but keeps photo manipulation to a minimum if any at all.
