My passion for photography started in Europe in 1988, but it wasn't until 1996 that my passion began to develop and I started to see through the eye of a camera. I grew up traveling and found myself craving to be a part of the artistic world. In high school, I won awards for my paintings and photographs in local events. My art was published in college, as the photo editor for my school newspaper. I shared my talents and taught the news photography class for Highline Community College. I graduated with an Associate of Arts degree with emphasis in art (photojournalism) in 2003. I started my own business, swiderPhotography, in 2005 in Washington State. When I moved to Oregon in 2008, continued my business and changed the name to Adrienne’s View. I love to travel and have done so in many corners of the world with photography as my element of record.
