Sal Cincotta created Behind the Shutter to give back to the world of
photography. As an up and coming photographer, Sal was struggling to find
answers to basic questions. Most of the magazines out there were filled with
fluff. Sal needed and wanted to create something that would challenge
photographers, something that would educate them.

Sal, an active wedding and portrait photographer in the St Louis metro area,
wanted to bring a sense of real world understanding to the magazine and
photography education. 

Our mission is to create and elevate the photography community by providing
relevant and timely education. At Behind the Shutter, we believe that an
educated photography community will raise the bar for all photographers around
the world.
