Sean Slinsky is a San Francisco-based freelance photographer and graphic designer who struggles daily with the question of whether he loves his camera or his copy of Adobe Illustrator more.
He has shot for a variety of city and lifestyle publications, and his most recent project had him traipsing up and down the South Carolina coast to provide the cover and interior shots for travel guide Moon Handbooks: Charleston & Savannah (Avalon Books, Spring 2006).
As well as experience in both a photography and design role within the arena of magazine journalism, Sean holds a B.A. in graphic design and has created, programmed, and designed a variety of from-scratch websites for a host of satisfied clients.
After three years in Charleston, he packed his life into a storage unit this summer, sold anything that couldn?t be squeezed into a backpack, and set off for a three-month jaunt around Southeast Asia with his writer girlfriend, hoping to give his creative impulses a little shock therapy.
It worked.
