Ronn Orenstein moved to Damariscotta, ME with his family from New Jersey. His commercial photography experience spans over 25 years. He began his career in New York City. For 13 ½ years he was Director of Photography for the Hartz Mountain Corporation. He was responsible for all their packaging, marketing, point-of-purchase, catalogue and PR photography.

Ronn is now seeking new clients in the New England area with hopes of exploiting the full range of his experience and talent. "I enjoy working with all types of people, discussing and exploring their business goals and visions, and working with the client to give them great commercial work that meets their business needs.”

Ronn, his wife Dana along with their three boys have been part-time residents of the area vacationing here for several years, then owning a home in New Harbor. What encouraged them to make the move when they did was in no small part motivated by his wife's position as Global Chief Learning Officer for the New York Institute of Finance, working in Tower Two of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Her being at the epicenter of such a monumental event caused them to more emphatically address the quality of life issues for their family and what Damariscotta had to offer.

Ronn is the recipient of numerous awards for his commercial work, which include recognition by the society of American Graphic Design and Art Direction Magazine. He has written and published several articles for magazines such as Photo District News and Studio Photographer. Ronn taught photography at the college level in both conventional and digital formats. Regarding his teaching experience he stated, “My love and enthusiasm for my career is constantly renewed by feeding off of the excitement of my students.” Ronn has expertise in all aspects of commercial photographic endeavors from the snap of his shutter through digital enhancements to final production.
