There is no fallacy in the above statements.  Each of these men were recognized as true leaders of their time.  The photographic leader in the Columbus, NE area is Mr. Jim Frieze.

Mr. Frieze is one of the truly accomplished artists of today.  He has taught his concepts and techniques nationally, and has currently been lecturing nationwide at professional photographic gatherings.  His most important accomplishment, however, is the studio image he began to build over thirty years ago.  This culmination of his dreams and aspirations is known today as Jim Frieze Photography.

Photography by Jim Frieze has been known as a leader in bringing new photographic approaches to the Columbus area.  This freshness and "total concept" approach has made Jim Frieze Photography one of the most successful photographic studios in the state.  His portraits are sensitive, personal, elegant and most of all - human.

Photography by Jim Frieze is a national leader in bridal and family portraiture, children and environmental portraiture, wedding story coverage and executive portraits.

The secret to the success of Jim Frieze Photography has been simple.  It's based on the premise that everyone is an individual and should have individual choices.  In other words, the entire organization is based on the concept of quality and service to the studio customer.  With this concept in mind, we thought it time to project our photographic images into a beautiful and elegant atmosphere of our new home studio.

"Photography, like people, must be an all encompassing medium.  As life styles change, so do personal wants and desires.  We, as photographers, recognize these desires and incorporate these new concepts into our photography.  It is our goal to not only be first in our field to do something new, but to continually strive to be the very best.  We honestly feel that our customers deserve nothing less."
