“Photographic artist –
the term was invented because of Helen Yancy”
Before After
There is so much photographers can do with a photograph after it has been taken now that we have programs like Photoshop. However, Helen Yancy was doing all that and more before Photoshop. For the last 40 years Helen created fine portraits as a painter, a digital artist, and photographer earning the rare distinction to be in the first person the world to receive degrees of “Master of Photography,” “Master Artist,” “Master of Electronic Imagery,” and “Photographic Craftsman” all from the Professional Photographers of America.
Helen has a tagline on her web site that says, “Where the camera is just the beginning.” And oh how true that is with Helen's work. Her ability has earned her the right to be a member of the prestigious Portraits Society of America, and the Society of XXV, a group of 25 exceptional photographers in the world. Helen Yancy is also known for her heart. She has over 900 “Merit Awards” from Professional Photographers of America, and has lectured and taught at professional meetings and conventions throughout the world. Everybody who is anything in the field of photographic artistry speaks highly of Helen Yancy.
