Lew Lause has been doing location and studio photography for more than 25 years. He is located in Marion, and also has a studio in Columbus, and travels extensively – from boardrooms to assembly lines, operating suites to industrial sites. “If asked what my photography specialty is I would have to say I am a generalist. Time has not allowed me to rest in one specific area of photography, nor would I have wanted to.” On the art of photography, Lew proclaims he doesn’t take pictures, he makes them. “I want people to walk away with the feeling they have looked at something new and different. I sleep photography – I wake up with it – I’m constantly planning.” “Art is very important in society – art is history. We need the arts, whether it’s music or visual arts. Pottery is art; it’s in the shape, it’s our history. I draw a lot of inspiration from art galleries; just walking around in them. One of my favorite artists is El Greco, and I have always admired the classic works of Rembrandt.” As a resident and businessman in Marion, Lew Lause is a past board member of several community organizations, and has contributed his photography talents to help promote their fundraising efforts.
 
Tom Etter
My father took pictures as a hobby, and he passed it down to me. I always tell people that I took a really great hobby and turned it into a pain–in-the-ass business. That’s only partly true. Running a business is not what I had in mind when I decided to go out on my own, but I love photography. When I'm on assignment, I shape visions, When I come home, I take pictures. When I go on vacation, I create images, and when I'm at an event, I feel as though I’m missing something unless I have a camera in my hands. Tom Etter has been getting paid for taking pictures since the late 1960’s when he graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor degree in Art Education and a minor in Photography. He is now turning all the great images collected over the years into art. Please take some time to enjoy the results.
   
Paul Clutter
The magic of photography started when I first looked through the finder of my Mom’s Kodak Duraflex twin lens. I have been hooked on photography ever since. Through the years I read and studied as much as I could about imaging, first using Polaroid cameras, then switching to 35mm film photography, and finally now exploring digital camera work. I specialize in fine art nature photography, producing images of subjects most of us walk by and ignore. Paul Clutter was born and raised in central Ohio and graduated from The Ohio State University with B.A. in business. For his day job he owns and operates McAlister Photoworks, a photo lab providing the highest quality printing available in central Ohio. The photo lab caters to clientele ranging from novice to professional background. When I am not correcting, manipulating, and enlarging others peoples work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and three kids, enjoying the outdoors, and finding time to perfect my own work into masterpieces.
