Ken Hatley Photography

Ken Hatley

Ken Hatley is married to Janice they have three kids, Johnathan 17, Trevor 7, and Devon 4. Ken's love of photography started very young when he took over the family Polaroid Instamatic at age 7! He got his first SLR camera in 1988 and was trained to shoot black and white film and also learned his way around a dark room. He turned to feature film and went to college at the University of North Texas pursuing a degree in Radio/TV/Film wanting to be a feature film Director of Photography.

He moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in film but returned to Texas a year later and found himself in sales for a computer training company. Shortly thereafter his interest turned towards computers and put himself through a computer certification program at SMU. It wasn't until digital started to become popular that he got back into photography about 11 years ago. With digital, it was a combination of instant gratification and digital manipulation that reignited his photographic journey.
