Nate Buchman
Photographer at Nate Buchman Photography
Summary
I have spent the past 6 years working for both others and myself, creating projects as a freelance photographer and art director. This job search is intended to find a position where I can do what I love full-time for an employer and turn my current business into a weekend exploration of specific passions rather than a livelihood.
