Ray Guillette

     Ray has been photographing since he was a child, whose father had a strong interest in photography. Creativity has been one of Ray’s hallmarks, and his scenic photography is not only beautiful, but also really moving. Fortunately, the numerous productions Ray has created have been seen throughout New England, with a broad audience in the attendees at NECCC getting to experience the personal awe and joy of an extraordinary photographer. Ray’s years as a pediatrician have given him an insight into what makes children so endearing, and his “kid” photographs are delightful and unique. Marathon races are another of Ray’s favorite subjects, and his photos, again, are filled with soul.  An avid film photographer, Ray admits only to having “gone digital” by way of having a cell phone with a camera component.

Ray is a cofounder of a Film Photographers’ Assn., current President of NECCC, and a published photographer, lecturer/teacher, presenter, and judge, known throughout the eastern states.
