"Aaron Draper is a self-taught photographer based in Modesto, California. As an art major early on in life, Draper realized that he would never make a career out of sketching. After several years as a writer and features editor in the newspaper industry, Draper decided to try his hand at photography. Using theories regarding shadow, light and form he learned in his art studies, Draper found his niche with photography. After much trial and error in his early days, Draper is gaining skill in the field. Never satisfied with his current level, Draper continues to push himself through seminars and visuals. Just this year he earned certification through the only regulatory body of photographers in the nation, the Professiaonl Photographers Association. His work recently appeared on "America's Next Top Model," and the "Tyra Banks" show. Draper is known for mixing personality and art to achieve a unique look whether it be wedding day, senior pictures, or a comissioned portrait. Draper's influences include: Bruce Dorn, Yervant, Eolo Perfido, Jeff Ascough, Annie Liebovitz, Angela Probst, Ray Prevost and Gene Martin." ~retrieved from web site, 01-21-2008
