I'm a professional visual effects artist living and working in Albuquerque. My specialty is C.G. Lighting and Compositing. I'm available for consultation on and production of Virtual Sets, "Tile Worlds" and other C.G. Visual Effects.

My panoramas are usually produced with Virtual Sets and Image Based Lighting in mind. As a result, most of the panoramas viewable here are available as floating point HDR images.

If you would like to commission specific panoramas in the Albuquerque area I'm available locally for freelance. When my schedule allows I'm willing to travel. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you have. I'm easy to work with and ready to help you figure out solutions to fit your budget.

When he was a little boy, Ken Aaron became fascinated by cameras—how they work, what they showed and what they didn’t. For years, photography had been his hobby—he learned of its storytelling value while thumbing through post-vacation family photos. But, over time, it became his passion—so much so that it inspired him to leave a successful and lucrative career in IT marketing and executive recruiting in the late-1990s, just to start all over again as a photographer’s assistant.

From there, he’d work his way up this career ladder one rung at a time, enrolling for classes at the Academy of Art to learn the technical education balanced with the practical experience learned working with other photographers. Since moving to Portland in 2003, Ken has been shooting for himself and for commercial clients (including Neighborhood Notes, which he founded in 2008) using a variety of techniques (high dynamic range, pinhole, macro photography, infrared, 360-degree panorama, and hand coloring) in both digital and film media.

Ken loves the to make photographs of places and spaces. These could be natural landscapes, urban environments, or man made structures.
