My name is Hunter Douglas Cone, and I am a freelance photographer based in Savannah. I specialize in sports, political, and editorial photography. I have worked with prestigious organizations such as Georgia Southern University, Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta United, and Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

As an accomplished photojournalist, my journey is deeply intertwined with a family history in photography. This personal connection has fueled my passion and commitment to capturing the pivotal moments that define our society. From documenting drum corps competitions to capturing poignant images like the viral dog in the cemetery, each frame tells a unique story, a testament to my family's legacy and my dedication.

Drawing inspiration from esteemed photographers like Pete Souza, Dorothea Lange, Steve McCurry, Drew Angerer, and Greg Miller, I am resolute in my mission to tell compelling stories through my lens. When I undertake assignments, particularly in political and news settings, I immerse myself in extensive research from multiple sources to comprehensively understand the context of what I'm documenting. This approach ensures that I can accurately and powerfully capture the essence of each moment.

I aim to convey the truth and emotion behind every image, providing viewers with an intimate look at the events and individuals shaping our world. I have had the opportunity to cover a diverse range of projects, including the Ahmaud Arbery trial, protests in Savannah, a Donald Trump rally in Charleston, Kamala Harris's visit to Savannah, and documenting the Savannah City Council during the St. Patrick's Day Parade. This variety of assignments is a testament to my versatility and adaptability in different settings.

My photography is a medium that goes beyond capturing moments. It's about evoking emotions, inspiring reflection, and provoking thought. Each photograph is a testament to the power of visual storytelling, its ability to inform, influence, and connect us all, and its potential to leave a

lasting impact on the viewer. Through my work, I aim to inspire reflection, provoke thought, and foster a greater understanding of our intricate world, leaving a profound emotional imprint on the viewer.
