As you can see, I'm Aimee Ketsdever.
I'm a photographer from Hillsboro, Oregon. I'm 18 years old and I just graduated from Century High School. I've lived in the Hillsboro area my whole life, but I love to go new places. I am attending the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia in the fall of 2008 with a $20,000 per year scholarship ($15k academic and $5k portfolio). Photography came into my life around December 2005, and I've been hooked ever since. I received my first digital-SLR in December of 2006, a Sony A100 (Alpha). I have never actually taken a photography class before, I would definitely consider myself self taught. I have 4 years of Art under my belt, which has proven to be useful many times. I have also worked under the Portland area photographer, Shane Young. My favorite type of photography is street and urban landscapes, and most of all: portraits. I am up for hire for portrait work in the greater Portland, Oregon area. For a price list please e-mail me at aketsd20@student.scad.edu.
