Carl Bower
I'm a Denver-based editorial photographer whose work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the U.S. and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography.
I like reportage when time allows, and portraits when it doesn't. I play nice with others and get things done.
