My photographer bio:

Fine Art Photographer Kerri Jean is a retired U.S. Air Force Veteran, whose award-winning photography has appeared in over 30 different print-on-demand and several limited-print publications. Known for her eclectic style and penchant for combining different artistic elements in her work, Kerri has been acknowledged by being named a RAW: Natural Born Artist photographer of the year nominee in 2013, placing third this year (2015) in the Shutterfest Fashion category, and catching the attention of other respected artists.

Kerri Jean practices her photography regularly out of a private studio in the Irvington district of Indianapolis, Indiana, where she works with a dedicated and creative team of models, hairstylists, makeup artists, and wardrobe stylists. She and her team frequently build their own props and costumes for shoots. Kerri is dedicated to the idea of “giving back” to the people around her, and often donates her time to charitable causes and people in need, particularly veterans. In addition to her photography work, she is a graduate of the USAF NCO Academy, USAF Airman Leadership School, and lived abroad while in the military for several years. She also gained a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management from Millikin University.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I plan on traveling to practice my photography, but I currently have no travel plans.

I also miss the military life. Mingling with other cultures was always a perk of the military.
