Photographer BIO – Alan Mulkey

"Capturing Life, One Photo At A time"

Alan Mulkey was born and raised in Rock Island, Illinois and resides in Chandler, Arizona . Alan Mulkey is a professional photographer who works freelance, commercial, for magazines and celebrity functions.
Photography for Alan started as a hobby at the early age of eleven. Over the years, Alan has turned a lifetime passion into a professional career which has produced numerous award winning photographs featured in highly acclaimed events, including the Nikon Photo Contest International and MSNBC.com. His work has been featured in magazines and art galleries throughout the nation and was recognized by Outdoor Photographer Magazine as a “True Inspirational Photographer” for his distinctive work in landscape photography

For over three decades Mulkey has been successfully mastering the art of photography. His main goal is to capture and preserve a story of history, happiness, beauty, emotion and joy

Mulkey's work spans the entire Country as well as Australia and New Zealand. When he is not traveling, he also photographs sporting events, portraits, Native American settings and unique and beautiful landscape desert scenes. Working in both color and black & white, his style is unique and distinctive with a timeless, classical edge

Mulkey's uplifting energy, sense of humor, romantic and fun-loving personality, makes him a favorite for those seeking to capture the essence of the human spirit and evoke emotional moments, not normally found with other photographers.

Alan says, "Through my photography, I hope to show the world that beauty and love still exists and hope I can draw the viewers into the scenes and experience, through my eyes, all the beauty our world still has to offer"

Alan Mulkey is available for travel to any destination in the United States to capture your special moment.


Let’s all go somewhere new
Let’s all crack the code, bend the rules, do what can’t be done. Let’s all learn how to fly, meet up with Bigfoot, find higher ground.
Let’s all take a peek behind the curtain, forget standard procedure, buy into a good story.
Let’s all turn gravity off, reinvent reality, fan the flames. Let’s all be kids again, build our own wagon, play a new game.
Let’s all branch out, break out, find out. Let’s all hear the gospel, spread the word, pass it on.
Let’s all go somewhere new.
Hello, my name is Alan Mulkey, I am a Professional Photographer with an emphasis on Landscape and wildlife Photography. I love life and living life in every possible amalgamation. I am blessed with so many things including my family, my friends and having the opportunity not only to live life, but hopefully adding more to it by being the best I can possibly be.
I believe in not being judgmental in others in what they do or how they perceive things as different viewpoints are the building blocks of evolution. I always try to give more than I receive. I am the friend I seek. I try to be the father I admire so much.
As I climb the ladder of life, I try remember each rung and I have touched and passed & what it has given me so that I may extend my hand and hopefully guide others climbing behind me. Life is about what we give to each other, not what we can gain. I hope that in my lifetime, I can be worthy of the gifts life has given me.
I am deeply involved with the American Diabetes Association, Habitat for Humanity and the One Campaign. I would invite you to please get involved with any charitable organization you feel strongly about. With only a few hands and a lever, the world can be moved, we just need to join together to make it happen.
I am also a wood carver, it is one of my many passions in life. I feel so alive when my hands are holding a gouge and I have made the very first cut into the wood. Creation comes in many forms and I have found I am so much more alive with every piece I finish. I imagine it is the same for anyone who creates.
I truly believe that if more people today could capture that wonderful feeling, the world would start to heal and become what it was meant to be.
I own my own studio in Chandler, AZ. for portrait settings which include head shots, school portraits, pets, commercial product photos, fashion, high fashion, album covers, and band shots, either on set or on location, grand openings of the world’s hottest clubs. I also travel for my clients needs such as banana Boat, Cover Girl and Revlon.
I invite you to visit my friends at the group “2002”. It is the music on my page and is very close to my heart. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Thank you, Pamela, for allowing me to share your incredible music on my page…you are a wonderful friend!
Please visit my friends from the group “2002”. They are the wonderful people who provide the fantastic music to my page....click the picture below.


The divide of race has been America's constant curse. Each new wave of immigrants gives new targets to old prejudices. Prejudice and contempt, cloaked in the pretense of religious or political conviction, are no different. They have nearly destroyed us in the past. They plague us still. They fuel the fanaticism of terror. They torment the lives of millions in fractured nations around the world. These obsessions cripple both those who are hated and, of course, those who hate, robbing both of what they might become.

“In the short time I have known Alan Mulkey I have come to count on him as one of the primary backbones of our A United Journey for Humanity, as well, as a dear friend. His knowledge of IT and his magnificent gifted photography are EXTRAORDINARY. He is gifted, knowledgeable, dedicated, devoted, loyal, trustworthy, supportive, and driven beyond reproach. It was my great honor to be able to recognize, honor, and feature Alan as one of our A United Journey For Humanity's "The Gifted Artists You Should Know" (www.myspace.com/desertstarlight8) before he began painstakingly volunteering his time to help make a UJFH the extensive positive empowered community that it has become. Alan volunteers his time as our phenomenal Creative & IT Liaison and I am proud and honored to have him as a part of our magnanimous team, as well as, one of my dearest friends!!!”

My Carving of an American Bald Eagle. A photo was taken in the Colorado Rockies and I decided to transfer it into wood. I left the bark on the board to simulate the tree the Eagle was actually hiding behind (2005).

Heroes

To me, a true hero is one who does his/her very best each and every day to take care of themselves, their family, friends and strangers without expecting something in return. Those who do it all every day, get up, knowing that they must travel that same road again and yet, don't hesitate as there are people counting on them. The ones who don't receive the recognition, the awards, the fame or fortune, just the satisfaction of knowing they helped someone in need.
