and fine print services. He also teches photography at the Center
for Photography in Charleston SC. "I am drawn to the destination
of the image ... the final print, the framed display, a page in
an album. Everything is done prior to that to get it there."
 Chelle Fazal lives in Mount Pleasant, with her husband, Mahmood, and her toddler, Evan.
Her most recent work is in the subject of fish and crabs, but has also done other animals
including horses and abstract paintings. Since her son was born, she has taken up
photography and is learning from Charleston's best photographer, who also happens to
be her husband. "I really enjoy photographing children but also enjoy the endless options
there are once the photo is taken. I love putting together artistic collages and albums.
This is my current creative outlet. Finding different forms of expression is so important to
me. The health benefits have impacted every part of my life. Restoration, for me, often
comes through the creative process."
 Alex Radin grew up in NY on Long Island and has always enjoyed the act of creating. He
graduated with a BFA from Columbus College of Art and Design in Columbus, Ohio. He
moved to the Charleston, SC area in 2001, from Columbus, OH and continued his work
