A bit about me

Hey there!

My name is Forrest Mackay. I’m a fashion photographer based in Madison, Wisconsin who graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a BA in fashion photography. I specialize in shooting on location and in studio. When I’m on location I like to use a combination of natural light and artificial light, when I’m in the studio I like to design my own sets to help bring my scene alive.
