ABOUT PNW photo.

Bobby Mckinney

My passion for photography started when I was 13 years old when my grandmother gave me a little magic box called a camera. I started photographing everything from people to pets, and in-between.

As I got older my passion for photography grew stronger, and so did my desire to travel the world. I joined the Air Force at 17 and was very fortunate to get photography as my job. I was trained as a photo laboratory specialist, but my shooting assignments took me above and beyond working as an aerial photographer, along with many other photo assignments around the globe.

Today, many years later Iā€™m still traveling the world with my little magic box at my side and with a desire to teach others the art of photography.
