Michael Bauman
Michael got started in photography at a young age, but it wasn't until high school that he would buy his first DSLR camera and start trying in earnest to make photos of a quality that could be sold. Early on Michael found limited success on Deviantart.com selling prints. It wasn't long before Michael moved mostly to selling his photos as stock photography and doing portraits.
Today he works as a professional freelance photographer and has been published in several SDNA affiliated newspapers. It was only natural that he ended up founding MagnaImages and working as the lead photographer. He specializes in animal and landscape photography and has won awards in both. As a hobby he takes photographs with old cameras and film.
Caitlyn French
Caitlyn got her start after graduating from Bethany Lutheran College with a degree in Media Arts. She worked her way up to being the editor of two newspapers in rural Minnesotan and later worked as a reporter and photographer for several SDNA newspapers. Almost all her photography has a strong photojournalist flair and involves telling some sort of story.
Caitlyn specializes in life-photography, including portraits of animals and people in action, especially at events. She has several photography awards and her work has been published in a variety of publications. In addition to photography, Caitlyn preforms the marketing duties for Magna Images.
