Who is Sparks Photography?
The quick answer is that Sparks Photography is Don Sparks - an award winning professional photographer with over 20 years of fulltime experience in Atlanta, Georgia.
However to really know Don Sparks is to understand that he is far more than simply a Photographer. In fact he is just as much a lighting designer, wardrobe stylist, set builder, digital artist, and innovator… Quite honestly you could portray Don as rather a “Rockstar” of Photography.
Even in his tween years he loved photography. Don’s passion for Photography has roots in his early memories of printing photographs in tiny amber lit basement darkrooms. According to Don, “Other than watching the birth of my daughters there is nothing more magical than photography”.
Don’s fascination with photography continued through his teens and 20s as he earned his Kappa Tau Alpha Honor’s Degree in Photojournalism from San Jose State University, California. After college, at 22 years old, he was hired by The National Geographic Society as their youngest Photographer/Editor in their 100+ year history.

This range of experience gives him quite an edge on his competition. In fact, many of his clients rave how quickly Sparks works and still produces twice as much content as that of the average Photographer.
Whereas many Photographers choose just one photographic specialty, Don enjoys and even excels at many. He captures people, portraits, products and events with great skill and a pinch of magic. “I thrive on creating really powerful images that truly wow my clients… my goal is to turn the ordinary into extraordinary” says Sparks.
As much as Don enjoys his career in Photography he’ll admit that he’s incredibly blessed with a wonderful wife, two fantastic daughters, a loving family, and a faith and trust in God.
