A photographer all his life, Stan Kaufman first studied Biology in college, but instead of continuing in science he switched to art & design following graduation. He attended Pratt Institute and received an MFA; then, he freelanced for many years, and his work was seen in numerous publications. After selling his images to corporate clients and added to their collections, he switched gears again and used his creative skills as a graphic designer. He currently owns the Creative Design Studio in Bayville, NY.

Stan resides in Bayville with his wife Maria and two children, and enjoys photographing Bayville and the surrounding areas since he moved there in 1996. This site is but a taste of the images he has created there.

He is an award winning photographer/designer/teacher who captures the beauty of ordinary objects in extraordinary light. His painterly photographs have been used for illustrations, editorial pieces, decoration and exhibitions.
