Jenna Duffy earned her Bachelor's Degree in Photography from the Art Institute of Colorado in 2006, where she spent her time photographing fashion and portraits for talent agencies, assisting models and actors build and update portfolios. She moved on to Brooklyn to pursue connections in an epicenter of fashion and embark on a photographic journey through New York capturing images of the people and places that inspire her most to this day. A southerner rarely travels too far from home, so she returned to Atlanta to officially launch her freelance consulting company, offering photography, marketing, graphic and web design to small businesses in creative fields, and by a stroke of luck got involved with The Photographer's Print Studio. Jenna has always enjoyed the meticulous art of printing and developed the foundation for the digital print lab at TPPS.
