About Me

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and view my photography MySpace page and portfolio, I really appreciate it. I hope that you enjoy your visit and will come back often to say hello and check for updates. Well, I feel that it’s very difficult to sum up myself and my photography in several short paragraphs but I’ll try. If there’s something that I don’t cover in the following paragraphs or any additional questions that you may have for me, please don’t hesitate to ask. I'm an open book for all to read.My name is Aaron Downing and I'm the sole owner and photographer of Aaron Downing Photography, hence the name. I'm 29 years old and I live in Albuquerque, NM. I'm happily married to my wonderful wife of three and a half years. In December of 2006, my wife and I were blessed with the birth of our first child, a little girl we've named Tiffany. We're expexting the birth of our second child (a little boy) sometime in early April of 2008. I'm also very lucky to have a wonderful home and two amazing dogs. I'm currently working full time as a mechanical designer for a local engineering firm here in Albuquerque. I enjoy the engineering job which is going well, however photography is my true passion.My enjoyment and passion for photography led me to start my own company, Aaron Downing Photography (formerly ACC Photography). I started as a semi-professional back in January 2004. Overall, I have over 15 years of photography experience under my belt, 5 of those years as a semi-professional. I've really enjoyed the process of starting a new business and I've learned lots over the past 5 years. I'm far from learning half of what I need to know about running a business but I continue to educate myself and learn. My long term goal, is to eventually take on photography full time and leave the engineering world behind.Displayed in my MySpace portfolio are lots of sample images that I've created over the past several years. The images within this portfolio are only a small sampling of my work. If you'd be interested in viewing additional samples of my work, please check out...www.aarondowningphotography.com...For those interested people who would like to see more of my fashion and glamour photography, please e-mail and I can send you links to 2 online portfolios that I currently have hosted online.Thank you for taking the time to view my photography MySpace page and portfolio, I appreciate you stopping by. Hopefully you enjoy my photography and would be interested in shooting together sometime. I'm always looking to meet and work with new people. If you're interested, please feel free to contact me.Thank you! Aaron Downing

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'm looking to network, meet and work with people who have any interest in the world of photography. Photographers, models, make-up artists or anyone with a general interest in photography please feel free to contact me, I would really like to hear from you.

Music:

I'm a huge fan of music in general... all kinds. I'm the least picky person when it comes to my likes and dislikes of music. I'm constantly downloading new and older music from iTunes and updating my iPod.

Movies:

When it comes to movies, I'm not very picky. I'm just looking for anything entertaining enough to occupy my time for a couple of hours. I don't take movies to serious because it's something that should be fun. A perfect example of something fun to me, is... Super Troopers, Club Dread... or anything else done by Broken Lizard.

Television:

I'm actually not much for television, however there are several shows that catch my attention. When on, I'll sit down to watch any NFL game, any CSI show (specifically CSI Miami), Las Vegas, My Name is Earl and Scrubs.

Books:

When writing without spell check, I'm a huge fan of the dictionary. Other than the dictionary, does ESPN or Maxim magazines count as a book?

Heroes:

Underdog.

Sadly, I've noticed a disturbing trend from clients and models as of late. Over the past month, I've had about a 75% no-show rate for previously scheduled and planned photo sessions. I'm a very unders...
