hi, i’m rodney …
I’ve been a professional photographer for more than four decades. As a teenager, I learned photography from my dad, a semiprofessional photographer, and freelanced for my hometown newspaper before attending Ball State University to study photojournalism. From there I went on to have a lengthy and successful career as an award-winning newspaper and freelance photojournalist.
During that time, I discovered that the one thing I loved shooting more than most any other was people. So, eager for a new creative challenge, I started sharpening my skills as a portrait photographer. In 2007, alongside my full-time career shooting for a local newspaper, I started Rodney Margison Photography in the small artist colony of Nashville, Indiana, and, a few years later, returned to college to study fine art and commercial photography at San Francisco’s highly acclaimed Academy of Art University.
