JOHN F. HILL
John F. Hill is an accomplished fine art photographer based in Easton, Connecticut. He was educated at Princeton University and has had a successful career as a business executive. John turned to fine art photography to realize his vision and passion for revealing the beauty of the world. Over the last few years he has earned numerous awards at the regional, national and international levels for his photography including multiple images accepted to the Loan Collection of the Professional Photographers Association of America, over fifteen best in show awards, five Kodak Gallery Awards, three Fuji Masterpiece Award, PPA 2007 Gold Photographer of the Year and many others.
John Hill specializes in the expert use of color. He personally hand crafts and custom prints every one of his fine art images to exacting standards using the highest quality materials available. All images are printed using state of the art printers using pigment inks on archival fine art papers. With proper care these prints will not begin to fade for 100-200 years. The prints are mounted and framed using only the highest quality archival materials and framing techniques.

JAY B. WILSON
Jay has been a photographer ever since his grade school work with the truly awful little Kodak Disc camera. He was nonetheless inspired and his passion has evolved over the decades.
After moving to NYC in 1996 he began to compose images of Gotham, often working to contrast the old and the new, the historic and the modern, the classic and the sleek shapes that rise above us. He later moved to Cos Cob and had two children, leading to a new emphasis in portrait photography – especially babies and children.
Jay continues to do commercial work along with his fine art and NYC perspectives. He has exhibited extensively, most recently at Google’s NYC headquarters, and his work has been featured in many publications, including Popular Photography.
