Fred Aron
I am a San Francisco Bay Area-based, third generation photographer specializing in architectural and fine art images. My work includes images of architecture, luxury residences, natural and built environments, and landscapes.
I studied fine art and architecture at the California College of the Arts, and structural engineering at San Jose State University, and became a full-time professional photographer after retiring from a 20-year career in bridge design and engineering.
My love for photography stems from the elusive nature of capturing what is beautiful or intriguing about a scene, and the challenges of interpreting that in a two-dimensional medium. Expressing the essential qualities of a subject requires an integration of mind and spirit that is satisfying when it succeeds, and frustrating when it does not. It is that struggle which drives me to always look for new ways to experience, understand and interpret my environment.
