Photos by Schwartz Photographer from Newark, OH

I am primarily a wildlife photographer, however, I enjoy event photography and pet photography. Since I have primarily focused on wildlife photography, most of my pictures are of animals, and thus, my portfolio may seem a bit bare. I have seven pets: three dogs and four cats: Melvin (Golden Retriever), Marlin (Golden Retriever), and Matilda (black lab mix); and Mickey, Tripod, Cici, and Munchkin. As I am sure you can surmise, pet photography is something I enjoy. Due to the fact that my portfolio is a bit bare compared to others, I am willing to offer reduced rates so that I can build my portfolio for “The Bash”. That does not mean I am free or “cheap”. My equipment costs well over $30k and although my experience is limited in what I can show on this site, my experience is prolific. I have photographed numerous church events including services and special events. The photography work that I have done outside of wildlife photography has been non-profit work. My work continues to be non-profit. Therefore, profit goes to charities throughout Ohio including Fellowship of Christian Athletes, More Life Church, and others. What equipment do I use? I use Canon professional equipment including, but not limited to, the Canon EOS R3 and various "L" lenses. I am a current and good-standing member of Canon Professional Services. How long have I been a photographer? I have been a photographer for more than a decade.
