Fine Art, Headshot & Portrait Photographer | Dianne Sullivan Morton | Dianne Morton Photography
With a deep understanding of artistic formal elements and all functions of the camera
and photographic processes, I shoot solely in manual mode offering a vast amount
of artistic vison and distinction. My digital work is captured in color with further
editing and manipulation in Photoshop, allowing imagery in both color and black&white.
