About Us

Southlight , a fifteen year old company that understands how precious memories are created, captured and secured....forever. We are a collection of photographers, retouchers, stylists, assistants, that provide professional photography for life's unique moments. Chief photographer Gene Bednarek directs coverage of all events, shooting most himself. Combined with the top picks of up and coming talent, Gene and his team know the responsibilities and pressures of working these once in a lifetime events, and are honored to cover these events.

 

Gene Bednarek has over twenty years of experience in creating work for reproduction. Starting with his first published picture at the ripe age of 11, he has gone on to see thousand of his photos in print. In addition to formal training at the Southeast Center for photographic studies and The University of Florida department of Fine Arts, he has worked with the top designers, corporations and causes. Gene has also been fortunate to work with hundreds of national and international publications producing portraits and illustrations for a number of corporate and editorial uses.
