Kurty Photography Studio
MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHERS
Kurty (founder, photographer)

When Kurty was a child, he was often asked what he would do when he grew up. Without hestitation, he would always answer, "I want to become a great artist."
Years later, with unchanged childhood dreams and aspiration, he chose to major in art with an emphasis in graphic design. In the first semester, he took a beginning photography class at CCSF as a part of  his art major. Under the dim amber darkroom light, he developed his very first image - a photogram. He was surprised and fascinated as he gazed at the image gradually appearing before his eyes. At that moment, he knew deeply in his heart that he wanted to become a photographer.
During college, Kurty would be one of the first students to work in the darkroom and the last one to leave. With enthusiasm and gifted creativity, he explored all aspect of photography from fine art to commercial. He was one of the very few students to complete all 25 photography classes offered since the 1960's. Upon graduation, he obtained a photography degree with a top grade, and was honored by the chairman with a special Award of Achievement.

Today Kurty holds true to his passion for photography, and has come to fulfill his childhood dream. Throughout the year, Kurty's popular studio is kept busy booking events, weddings, portraits and head shots assignments. Twice a year, Kurty finds time to travel out of the country shooting personal projects. And he will never forget his promise to himself - to become a great artist when he grows up.
