Kevin's artistry enables him to create a dynamic chronicle that goes far beyond the expected while remaining unmistakably pure. Collaboration between the families and the photographer is paramount, to remain unobtrusive and to provide a seamless flow of events for everyone. Weinstein’s passion for photography began in 1986 while attending boarding school in California. Through the tragic loss of a dorm-mate, Kevin requested a copy of a picture of his friend from the school yearbook editor. Not having the time to produce the picture, the editor gave him cursory instruction about how to do this himself. Having accomplished this task after 8 hours, Weinstein became intrigued with photography and the process of development and knew this would be a life-long passion. Pursuing his goal at the San Francisco Art Institute, he followed his degree in photography with a Master's degree in photojournalism from the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Journalism. Upon completing his graduate work, Weinstein worked for The Sun (Bremerton, Washington), the Memphis Commercial Appeal, the Albuquerque Tribune, the Oakland Tribune's newspaper conglomerate called the Alameda Newspaper Group (ANG), the San Francisco Chronicle, a Manhattan photo agency and The Sun in Illinois. Mr. Weinstein has also received many awards, scholarships and project grants during his career. His extensive training and work ethic brings to the client a person dedicated to his artistry, an understanding of the project dynamic and an ability to join the worlds of photojournalism and artistic photography in one compelling piece. With his diverse background from the laissez faire approach at the Art Institute and the formal, more conventional training at the University of Missouri, he is able to create memorable images for his clients.
