Business DescriptionRutsen Eagle is a Richmond native and graduated from The Collegiate School, where he began a study in film photography. He was recognized by the Quill and Scroll for producing unique photographs in the school's monthly periodical, The Match. Rutsen graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a Bachelors of Fine Art, specializing in Photography. VCU is proud to announce that it was recently ranked the 4th best Art School in the nation. Rutsen was recently recognized by The Pilsner Urquell International Photography Awards Competition for his work titled "The Office" and has been recognized for several years by the International Society of Photographers. "Tom Hiltabrant taught me how to shoot and David Stott demonstrated to me the effectiveness of Photography in print form. It was a wild night at The Landmark Theater where I had the opportunity to photograph Widespread Panic. Dave Schools, the bassist for the band, was a Collegiate Alum and provided me with some great advice during a backstage photo shoot. He said, 'once you find inspiration, embrace it and know that you can always get better at what you do'." Rutsen completed his general studies at James Madison University before making the decision to pursue photography as a Major. Learning more than just photography, Rutsen learned the value of being loved. He met Katie in the Studio and together they created Eagle Eye Photography, a business dedicated to providing clients with a unique and refreshing experience. Katie was a California resident, inspired by the Ocean and the passage of time. She captured the essence of California and the ocean using her camera. Moving to the East coast to begin a new life in Richmond, Katie was called to take photography classes at VCU. Together, Rutsen and Katie were able to learn much from one another. With new skills and a positive attitude towards photography, Rutsen was eligible to serve as the first photo-intern for The Richmond Magazine. Immediately he began to develop and refine his skills. Under the aid of the Writers, Editors, and Art Directors he quickly developed an understanding of how photography would apply to the real world. An experience that would encourage him to become a local freelance photographer and small business owner. Rutsen and Katie were married in July 2007 at the historic Virginia House in Windsor Farms. |
