I am a full time professional photographer, with several hundred weddings to my credit, as well as a college professor of photography and digital imaging, and have been working as an artist and photographer in the Cleveland area since 1988. I have a BFA in photography from The Cleveland Institute of Art, where I also studied painting, printmaking, and video.
I am also owner and operator of Mastroianni Photography and Arts, a photographic studio and art gallery in the historic Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland. The studio is located at 2688 W. 14th St; hours are by appointment as well as the second Friday of every month for the Tremont Art Walk.
My original photographs are included in the collection of The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, and many private collections.
