Walter’s Bio-

Walter holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts and a Master’s Degree in Music with Jazz as his special field. His career in photography began as a hobby he and his wife Kim enjoyed together.

His work has been featured at several PPA national conventions from Las Vegas to Chicago to New Orleans and he has been honored to have one of his portraits published in the exclusive PPA Showcase Collection.
