Bio of Stuart J. Schaefer, Photographer

I have now been a freelance photographer since leaving the military in 1972. It was during my tour of duty in Vietnam (1969) that I first found an interest in photography. The first paid assignment was a wedding of a friend and I have never looked back.

Today I no longer do wedding photography, but put more focus toward my scenic and commercial work. Along the way I worked as a post photographer for Redstone Arsenal (Huntsville, Alabama) for two years. Until 1988 I was a self taught photographer learning from reading and trying things until I was able to get it right. That year I dropped everything and used my GI Bill and went back to school at the age of forty one to pursue a degree in Photo and Film Communications.

In 1992 after having a successful photo career in Huntsville Alabama I packed everything up and move to Gulf Breeze, Florida.  Not really knowing anyone in the area this was a big move for me. However the timing was right.  I was looking for a change in my life and photography work. 

In 1998 I started my move to digital photography from film. Starting the end of 2002 I did complete move to digital photo. Currently I am using the Canon 30D & 40D.

Today I work as a computer consultant and still continue as a freelance photographer covering national sailing races, scenic photos and commercial work in this area and around the world. Some of my work has been featured in Sailing World Magazine and other magazines across the country.
