My name is John Caughlan and my wife Missy and
I reside in St. Cloud, Minnesota. I have been taking pictures of
the North Shore since 2002. The first couple of years I used an older
Pentax 35mm film camera. During this time I learned about lighting and
composition, developing an "eye" for an image. In 2004 I purchased my first
digital camera, a Nikon
D100, and since then I have added some new cameras and lenses to my
camera bag (which now weighs over 50 pounds). I love the outdoors and enjoy
photographing Minnesota's natural beauty. I also like portrait photography
and have photographed over 50
weddings in the last five years. Currently I am working on my second
coffee table
book, which will be released in the summer 2011.
Goals
My photography goals include: to learn as much
as I can from other photographers, pursue creative avenues within
my photography, market my work on and off-line, and continue to provide
new and updated images on my website. We enjoy feedback from
people, please let us know what you think of our images.
