The Artist  

Artist Jeffrey M. Ferrell first began photographing at about six years of age. He used a square frame, medium format camera and received many encouraging comments regarding his portraits. At age eleven he learned basic black and white darkroom techniques. 

The depth and breadth of many subjects fascinated him. He quickly grew bored with the mundane and grew to shun the mediocre.   

He created some “inventions” and presented them to manufacturers.  

Jeffrey later went back to college to get a degree in quality commercial photography because he was committed to a 20 year Artistic Documentary of the Chesapeake Bay and its Historic Oyster Industry. He ended up sailing and racing the old Oyster Dredging Skipjacks up and down the bay. He even was an extra in the Baltimore TV show Homicide, “The Last Waterman”.  

His work ended up in numerous museums. One Captain wanted to own Jeffrey’s work so much that he traded the first traditional skipjack’s (Ruby G. Ford) steering wheel for the Art.     

Education continued. Anything that would make his craft better. He studied from some of the best in the world. Portraiture, painting, writing, and thinking. All for the sake of making his Art the best it can be.

Along the way, Jeffrey found that he also enjoyed creating special family  location portraits for people who want to pass heirlooms to their future generations. Some of these clients seemed like extended family.

Smart business owners discovered that they too could use his artistic skills to help tell a compelling marketing stories that enhances their businesses' value. Jeffrey learned to care for and treat many of these businesses as if he had a steak in their success. Never intruding, often invited to discover even more value for the clients.   

One of Jeffrey’s first benefactors was a renowned Business Building expert who traded a lot of priceless advice for one of the Artists Images. Since that friendship began, Jeffrey became hungry to mix his art with greater, more powerful and more meaningful storytelling. Sometimes for history, sometimes for family, sometimes for business/marketing, and sometimes just for fun! 

All of this adds up to someone who does not just go the extra mile but becomes his great clients’ most trusted advocate and business/project partner. One who is driven to extraordinary outcomes, that make yet one more client say, “I am GLAD that I DID!!!”.
