Curtis
Neeley
Curtis Neeley once ran a well equipped commercial studio in Winslow, Arkansas. With all of his commercial studio responsibilities, it's noteworthy that his main ambitions began to focus more on art photography than commercial work.
Curtis caught the photography bug early from his father, who worked at Eastman, Kodak. He honed his camera skills while in the U.S. Marine Corps. stationed in Okinawa, Japan. There he shot cover assignments for Okinawa Today and contributed to Stars and Stripes. Several photography-related jobs followed through the years before he reached his current reputation. He has shot commercial images for the world's largest corporation and many smaller others.
On September 2, 2002 Curtis was involved in a full-speed, head-on auto accident and was in a coma for over six weeks. After having his respirator removed he was left a severely brain-damaged artist with no legs and full use of only one arm. Despite this tragedy, Curtis still photographs figurenude art images from a wheelchair with his one operational arm.
