Alice Keeney
Since returning to the United States in 2005 after attending Speos Photographic Institute, in Paris, Alice has been busy photographing a variety of events throughout the Charleston, South Carolina area, as well as abroad. She loves a challenge and anything that keeps her on her toes. Whether it is a photograph of President Obama, or your wedding day, she strives to create the very best image possible.
Keeney has been working for the Associated Press since 2005 covering news events in the coastal region of South Carolina. Recently, Keeney's images have appeared on the front page of the New York Times and USA Today, along with many other newspapers across the nation and around the world. Alice also works at the Charleston Center for Photography where she teaches just about everything from Intro to Digital Photography to Advanced Photoshop. Whenever she gets the chance, Alice volunteers her time and photography skills to Grassroot Soccer in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Being able to evoke an emotion with one frame keeps Ben fueled with passion to shoot everyday. His portraiture betrays his years and he looks forward to his next project.

Priscilla Thomas
Priscilla Thomas was born in Keflavik, Iceland on December 14, 1984. She spent her childhood in Alamogordo, New Mexico, where her passion for telling stories began with a typewriter and mint green paper. At the age of eleven, she moved to Charleston, South Carolina, and continued her creative endeavors through writing and photography in extracurricular activities.
After graduating from the College of Charleston in 2006, she realized that photography had always been a part of her life but often overshadowed by her journalistic and creative writing pursuits. Finding a neglected artistic facet, she soon delved into the world of emotive vision with a focus on telling stories through a camera rather than with a pen and paper.
In her photography, Priscilla strives to reveal unique perspectives into our visual world. By preserving and witnessing human life through image, she hopes to foster cultural understanding and inspire others to explore the world through various methods of seeing.

Reese Moore
After graduating from the University of Notre Dame with a BFA in Photography and a second major in English in 2008, Reese Moore followed her love of photography and journalism to New York City, where she interned with Zink magazine. Moore, a Florida native, missed the pace and unique culture of life in the Southeast, and she relocated to Charleston in the fall of 2008 to pursue a freelance career as both a photographer and writer. She quickly fell in love with the Lowcountry, and Moore served as editor of Charleston Magazine’s 2009 Charleston Fashion Week supplement and went on to serve as the CFW Backstage Pass blogger/photographer in both 2009 and 2010. Today the 23-year-old continues to write about and photograph a variety of subjects, contributing regularly to Charleston, Stir, and Zink magazines.
