He started photographing 20 years ago and has constantly improved through practice, school and on the job training.
A 2007
Magna Cum Laude graduate from Western Connecticut State University's art program with a specialization in photography. He graduated at the top of his class and made the Dean's List every semester. He credits being a non-traditional student as his biggest help in school.
"Being an older student, I believe, allowed me to stay focused on my classes and not become distracted... It also helps that I was paying for it out of my own pocket!" Carl Hebert
During his studies at WCSU Carl saw an opportunity to help his fellow students and make a little income to help pay for his camera equipment. He started offering his services to the MFA Graduate students to shoot their artwork portfolio's. Some of those initial jobs are posted in the gallery section.
Also while attending WCSU Carl met Brad Stanton who ran a commercial photography studio in Danbury and was teaching a couple of classes at the school. Carl started working part-time at Brad's photo studio and after graduation became a full time assistant.
While assisting at Brad's Carl has not stopped with his personal passion of photographing artwork for people.
