My start in photography, as an art form, happened at West Valley College with my first photography class.  I had some of the best instructors, they taught me to be very creative while still having a high degree of technical knowledge.  After I graduated, I refine my photography skills at Hallmark Institute of Photography, where I learned from some of the industries most talented photographers.  After many challenges and projects, I graduated, in 2007, and returned to my home town of San Jose, California to start my business, Austin Loney Photography.
