Russell Abraham

The well-crafted image has always been a central part of Russell Abraham's life, no matter what the tool used to create it. Russell started life with a paintbrush in his hand. He traded in that paintbrush for a T-square and finished a degree in Architecture before eventually swapping his T-square for a view camera.  These days, the tool of choice is a digital camera and a high-powered desktop computer.  He has taken the time to learn the new technologies and develop enough of a mastery of them to both teach and write about them.  He is an active member of the local photo community and serves on the Board of Directors of ASMP.  When not behind the camera or in front of the computer screen he is the proud father of four children, two of whom are recent graduates of the University of California. 

Kate Carboneau

Kate Carboneau is the new kid on the block.  She has a degree from N.C. State and a certificate in graphic design and photography.  Using her web and product design skills, she has created numerous custom websites and product designs for a variety of clients.  She has also photographed interiors and architecture in North Carolina for a handful of architects and designers.  With a strong interest in both architecture and interiors, Kate adds a smart dimension to our capabilities to offer a broader range of services to our design community clients.
