Artist: Marion Berry | Location: Florence, SC
Florence, SC
Marion Berry is a freelance photographer from Bishopville, SC, who began his lifelong fascination with photography as a child. He enrolled at Francis Marion University in 1976. He has been a resident of Florence, SC, since college and still lives there with his family. After graduation from Francis Marion University, he became a Sales Manager and Account Executive for a large textile manufacturer. His constant companion on these travels was my Yashica 35mm SLR camera. After the demise of the company in 1999, he began a new career as a jewelry artist and photographer.
There is an old adage which is remarkably suited to the camera lens, “We don’t remember days, we remember moments.” For Berry, photographs are not simple images. Each one is a memory of a special moment in time. Each and every day offers something new and exciting to photograph. These days, his companion has become his Nikon D3100 DSLR camera. He still prefers to capture images as he sees them instead of being enhanced digitally.
