Ray Schneider is a freelance photographer whose images span numerous genres including portrait, street, landscape, animals, and events.  An avid traveler, his images come from over 30 countries.  He has published a book entitled What the Photographer Sees, available on Amazon and recently received a Portfolio Merit Award from Black and White Magazine.  He teaches photography workshops at locations including the Chester Springs Studio, Main Line Art Center,  and Jenkins Arboretum, is a speaker at area camera clubs, and is also the program chair for the Main Line Camera Club.  Prior to becoming a professional photographer, Ray travelled the country as a Chemical Engineer and operations management consultant.  As a cyclist and swimmer, Ray has also competed in championship Ironman distance triathlons, and most loved riding his bike across America.

For Ray, seeing like a photographer is to perceive well. It’s creating images that are more than pretty pictures — hopefully — and that trigger the viewer’s inner-voice, that suggest a story, that evolve in the consciousness as they’re viewed, that invite a sense of curiosity, that cause one to pause and maybe take a closer look.
