Biography

A lifelong resident of Sacramento, California, Vincent Bailey always had an eye for the lens, able to pick a good shot instantly. His childhood was spent running about his neighborhood with a cheap camera his Dad had picked up one day, and he would love to tell stories through his photos, even winning an award at his school and gaining a scholarship at college, choosing to become a photojournalist by trade.

By the age of 23, Vincent had traveled across the world to work, including several war zones, and has had his fair share of close calls. He has been witness to all levels of humanity, ranging from bravery and apathy, hate and love and compassion and indifference. His approach is meant to cause the viewers to stop and think, if only for a second before continuing in their own lives, hopefully inspired by the vision.

At 27, Vincent returned to his home town to marry his childhood sweetheart and found employment with the city’s best newspaper, the Sacramento Bee, as a freelance photojournalist with a generous contract. However, he has slowly found his work wanting and the limited vision of his lackluster editor doesn’t seem interested in his ideas.

Three years have passed since his return and his wife has left him, declaring that he just isn’t the same man anymore, an attitude that has pissed him off royally seeing as it was her that caused him to quit traveling and settle down.
