Hello there! My name is Cole Hughes and I am an amateur photographer based out of Boston, Massachusetts. I come from a small, suburban town that is located roughly nineteen miles north of the city.  In simpler terms,  I am a "north shore kid". And although I love home and New England, I also suffer from this thing they call wanderlust. Maybe you have heard of it before. 

In fact, my photography journey began back in 2017 when I had the opportunity to attend school and reside over in Europe for four months.  After completing my undergraduate degree in the Spring of 2019, I decided to take my slight interest in photography and turn it into my new official hobby. Over a short period of time, it evolved into a passion that I now adore and thoroughly enjoy doing.

Friends and family often ask me, "What got you into photography? How do you know what to take pictures of?" And the answer is the same really to both questions. I always reply quite simply with...Nouns. "Nouns? Did I read that correctly?" I know, let me explain. Nouns can be people, places, objects, or ideas right? Well if I've learned anything during my life, it is that the world we live in contains and offers wonderful nouns. Beautiful souls, stunning landscapes, unique items, and brilliant ideas are all around us, all the time. There is always something or someone to take a picture of.

For me however, photography is so much more than the pictures. There are stories behind subjects, lessons you learn, emotions that are evoked, connections formed, and on and on. The photo one produces is just the last component but the process and overall experience is what makes it so enjoyable and rewarding. 

As for my work, I partake in various forms of photography. This includes but is certainly not limited to: family & personal portraits, wedding & engagement photos, sports shots, landscape & travel pictures, and several more. If you are interested, please feel free to check out my page or reach out via e-mail or Instagram. You now know a little snapshot about me, I'd love to learn about you. Be well.
