A Well Made Photograph A Well Made Photograph is the photography business operated by Crystal Ridge. Crystal graduated from Messiah College in 2009 with a BA in the Fine Arts.

Since then she has been working as a independent photographer. A Well Made Photograph is committed to creating meaningful images that contain some beauty and truth about the world we live in. In the line of documentary photography, A Well Made Photograph seeks to pull images from the world as it is not to manufacture images of a world that we think should be. The following quote by Henri Cartier-Bresson, considered by many to be the Father of Modern Photojournalism, skillfully expresses the beliefs of A Well Made Photograph:

"If the photographer succeeds in reflecting the exterior as well as interior world, his subjects appear as “in real life.” In order to achieve this, the photographer must respect the mood, become integrated into the environment, avoid all the tricks that destroy human truth, and also make the subject of the photo forget the camera and the person using it. Complicated equipment and lights get in the way of naïve, unposed subjects. What is more fleeting than the expression on a face?"
- Henri Cartier-Bresson
