Photographer: James Haefner's career in photography spans the last four decades. An accomplished automotive advertising photographer, Jim's love of modern design drew him into the architectural world fifteen years ago. His ability to capture the designer's intentions whether the subject is an automobile or a structure is paramount to his success. Today he balances both areas of interest equally along with a lifetime interest in landscape photography. After graduating from Rochester Institue of Technology in 1976 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Jim apprenticed for three years before starting his own studio in 1979.
