Social media profiles & artist biosEXAMPLE 1: Creative Artist Bio written for Phil Koch, Award-Winning Photographer
 Phil Koch
Phil Koch is a nationally recognized, award-winning photographer, videographer and filmmaker. Among his awards and honors, Phil was named winner of Ron Howard's Canon Imagination in 2012 (Forgotten Tale). In 2012, Phill also received the Pace Setter Award from the Milwaukee Independent Film Society. In 2009, Phil was named Best Filmmaker by the Shepard Express for the Best of Milwaukee series.
Phil Koch may be an exception to the rule that "nice guy's finish last." In this case, it's "nice guy's finish first." Phil has a reputation for stepping up to the plate to help local filmmakers and film productions achieve success. His ability to wear many hats (pun intended!) helps to improve the creative process. Some of his more recent projects include Petty Cash (2011), Yellow Hill: The Stranger's Tale (2012) and Serum (2012-2013). An article written by noted illustrative photographer Royce Bair states.... "Can a photographer create his own style and following by breaking one of the basic rules of composition? Phil Koch did." "There are three unique things about my new Flickr gallery of Phil Koch images: 1) every image was photographed by Phil in Wisconsin, 2) every image is a vertical, and 3) every image has the horizon line almost dead center -- breaking a major rule of composition." "Because of Phil's unique composition, he has created a style that is starting to get attention. Although Koch has only sold a handful of prints so far from the 'Horizons' project, its exposure has resulted in a new assignment to start traveling the country to shoot both photography and video." To date, Phil Koch has taken over 250,000 images for his 'Horizons' project.
