Meet the Artist - Colby Files

After being introduced to photography during college in the late 60’s, Colby worked as a photographer for the college and local newspapers. During this time he created a monthly column that featured photo layouts and bio for college coeds, which became his introduction to photographing beautiful women. The photos were taken with black and white film and Colby also performed the darkroom tasks.

After college, living in an agriculturally based community, he was hired to photograph small towns, land parcels, and broadcast radio towers. That period of shooting aerial photography provided for a modest income and made the airplane payment. Photography played an important part throughout his working career until retirement in 2011. After retirement, Colby immersed himself in the art he now considers “more than a hobby, but not quite a real job”.

Colby's work has been published nationally and internationally, won dozens of contests, and received many other accolades for photography. His highest honor came when his work was published on the cover of Photography Masterclass Magazine.
