Arrow Tree Photography

SpecialtiesFor those of you who do not know me personally, my name is Joey Cieniewicz. I have my BFA in Art with a concentration in photography from the University of Illinois at Chicago. My interest in photography began when I was in front of the camera, as a model, instead of behind the camera but from there my love for photography grew. I know what it feels like to be in front of that camera too so don't be afraid to come shoot with me sometime. I'll snap a photo of anyone all you gotta do is ask. My style is modern, fun, and elegant. I prefer using a wider lens for a photojournalist style and this allows me to be closer to my models. I may be a little bit of a perfectionist but that's what you want in a photographer, someone who will catch every little detail.

HistoryI started my photography business 6 years ago and have built the business from day one. I photograph primarily weddings, but also love documenting family life as well. I'm officially trained in commercial and editorial photography, but I prefer to work photojournalistically. My style is a combination of each of these approaches - it's classic and technically correct, yet authentic and evocative. I use only top quality Canon gear - I love the 5d Mark 3 (& Mark 2) and prefer to use prime L series lenses. In my free time I enjoy capturing documentary photo stories of iconic Americana (e.g. state fairs and street photography). I love all forms of visual arts and strive to capture each wedding, family, child or event with a personal, artistic vision.SpecialtiesI specialize in photographing weddings and families with a photojournalistic style. I am an artist at heart and believe that each wedding is a precious event deserving of genuine, candid photography.
