Aaron Smalls

• Name: Aaron Smalls
• PhotoShelter Template: Horizon
• Member since: June 6, 2016
• Location: Columbia, South Carolina
• Specialty and background: Aaron Smalls specializes in portrait and fashion work. His technique is to create a stunning visual that also speaks to simplicity. He believes that sometimes the most simple approach can produce the most amazing results. Aaron has a background in art and design. First picking up a sketch pad at a very young age, he fell in love with creating memories and moments similarly to how he does now with his camera. Aaron’s logo speaks to his simple approach, just three geometric shapes with distinct shapes and contrast that each make a bold statement on their own. That’s how he wants his work to be seen—as collectively unique but each piece standing out on its own.
