Welcome to the photography of Ernest J. Schweit (ernestjschweit@sbcglobal.net).

Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy viewing these images as much as I enjoyed making them.

As you browse our galleries you might get the sense for the passion I feel for camera and lens: my goal is to capture the important moments in people's lives and to beautifully portray the places that stir one's soul.

It can be a complex landscape, a senior prom, graduation, family portrait or a complex flower; I relish the challenge of capturing them all in a unique, thoughtful style.

The work here represents a dream I've held for years, ever since my father handed me a box camera when I turned 7.

What followed, though, was a career as a newspaper journalist that touched the edges of photography but focused instead on writing, editing and managing.

But the camera was never far away and when my career changed a few years ago, I picked up my Nikons full time.

I hope you like what you see. If you do, we are set up here to handle online purchases. I am also available for consultations and assignments at ernestjschweit@sbcglobal.net

Thanks for stopping by!
