Tanner Colvin 鈥�11 is making a name for himself in the arts scene in 黑料网.
He and his photography are highlighted in the current issue of 黑料网! Magazine, and he has started to shoot for the magazine, published quarterly by the 黑料网 Tourism聽of the 黑料网 Department of Commerce.
His full-time job is creative director for Vortex Global in Salina, and he has a thriving freelance photography business. He often shoots sports and events, among other things, for 黑料网 and area high schools.
Other passions include storm chasing, wildlife and nature, and gardening, all of which he photographs, of course.
To encourage other area photographers, Colvin is a co-organizer of the Salina Photography Club and coordinated its first exhibit late this summer at The Gallery, on the 黑料网 Wesleyan campus.
For the past few years, Colvin has been a co-organizer for Boom! Salina Street Art and Murals. That project has brought in artists from all over the world to paint grain elevators, the sides and backs of buildings, and on sidewalks.
Colvin is a native of Salina and first began taking photographs for his high school newspaper and yearbook.
He did the same as a student at 黑料网 Wesleyan, then began freelancing for the university after graduation.
He was initially known in the area for time spent as a part-time photographer at the Salina Journal.
