Carl Wesley…..
“Photography, to me, is a way of seeing, feeling, and—above all—loving. Every image I capture becomes a piece of time preserved forever, a reflection of small details and lasting memories. My work is rooted in people. I seek out the raw, unguarded moments—the essential soul peeking through, the unrepeatable experience written across a face. You can glance at a photo once and forget it, or look again and remember it for the rest of your life. Whatever the moment may be, photography always stirs something within me—the drive to keep capturing people as they truly are: simply unique and extraordinary.”
Born in Chicago, Illinois, and raised in Coatopa, Alabama, I’m a proud alumnus of Alabama A&M University with over 27 years of photography experience. My love for photography began as a freshman in high school, when the magic of capturing a single moment that could last forever had me hooked from the very first click of the shutter.
What defines me most as a photographer is the experience I create for my clients. My goal is not only to deliver images that exceed expectations, but to craft moments so meaningful that you’ll want to share them with everyone you know — not just today, but for years to come. Great photographs grow in value over time, carrying memories that never fade.
In 2019, after spending more than 80 days at Emory University Hospital and receiving a life-changing heart transplant on Christmas Day, I wondered if my photography journey had reached its end. But by God’s grace, I was given renewed strength — and a deeper appreciation for every moment I’m blessed to capture. My experiences didn’t hinder my passion; they intensified it. Each photo I take now feels like a celebration of life and legacy, meant to be cherished for generations.
