Dawnne Gee’s Summary
Self-employed full-time since 1995 (with a couple of brief exceptions), I am seeking freelance engagements for weddings, environmental portraiture, and sporting events (preferably outdoor field sports) in the north-central midwest region. Additionally, I am actively seeking agency for my fine art both as stock and as limited edition prints, with one active campaign currently at http://www.portfolios.com/dawnne. I am also available to teach digital photography, digital post-production, digital refinement, and digital asset management practices in large, small and private one-on-one settings. Partnerships with other studios are ongoing considerations given full benefit of the doubt, and it is quite possible that a positive arrangement can be made with the right group of people. I am willing to take on secondary work in my previous industry of Internet programming, especially in regards to Wordpress setup and maintenance, and integration of Wordpress with other open-source systems (galleries, forums, etc).
