History
Abell Images began as Abell Creative, LLC, a self owned photography and graphic design business that began in 1999; Abell Creative, LLC was incorporated in 2002. My background in photography and graphic design came while attending graphic design school at the University of Georgia. The design school at UGA was heavily drawing based and highly competitive, accepting app 10% of the applicants annually. I went on to intern at CNN and CNN International. Late 2001, I took a position as the creative designer for the Macon Knights of af2. During my tenure with the Knights, I produced many award-winning photographs and graphic design pieces. Sine 2009, I have provided photographer as a commercial NFL photographer and to such notable clients as the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, Atlanta Championship Hosting Committee and MBUSA, to name a few. In fall of 2019, my family and I relocated back to the Middle Georgia area in he small town of Kathleen which is part of the great Warner Robins, GA area.
