About Me! Greg Yahr

Hi, thanks for taking the time to check out my web pages. My name is Greg Yahr and I'm a part time professional Photographer. That means that I still have a “real” job. Weekdays I work as a Metallurgist at a small steel mill in southeastern Wisconsin.

I began learning photography when I took a black and white class in High School, but my interest really began as a result of my enjoyment of the outdoors. Photographing nature and wildlife gave me another reason or excuse to get outdoors. A few years ago I re-dedicated my efforts, learning my equipment, reading books and magazines, attending seminars and spending a lot of time outdoors shooting.

Over the past few years I have had my images published in local and regional magazines, such as Wisconsin Trails, AAA Home and Away, Michigan Out-of-Doors and Modern Manufacturing. I have also sold numerous framed and matted prints. During this time I have lead several photo workshops sponsored by conservation clubs, nature centers, and the Wisconsin Dept. of Natural resources.

Recently I have broadened my photography interests to include Outdoor Portraiture comprising of High School Seniors, Family Groups, Kids etc. I also photograph a few Weddings each year, using a photo-journalistic approach to capture all the excitement and emotion of this very special day.

I am involved with several local Camera Clubs. Photographer's Anonymous meets at Riveredge Nature Center in Newburg Wisconsin on the last Tuesday of every month at 7:00PM. The Camera Clique is a fun Group from West Bend, Wisconsin. This club meets the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7:00PM usually at Bank One in West Bend (check the web site). I'm currently the President of the club.
