About Dorene Sykes Photography
Dorene Sykes, owner/photographer, captures images of people at places they love and turns them into memorable works of art. Portraits of families in natural settings on Cape Cod, such as beaches and homes, is her specialty.
Dorene became interested in photography during college days in Michigan. After taking many photography classes at Wayne State University, she moved to New York and studied at the Germain School of Photography to prepare for a career as a photographer. But after completing the program, an opportunity to work for the United Nations eventually led towards a Master of Business Administration degree from Boston University and a marketing career.
In 2004, two of Dorene's dreams came true. She settled with her husband on picturesque Cape Cod. And she began her second career as a photographer. Creating family portrait art at places meaningful to clients, and seeing their eyes light up with pride, is her greatest joy. She also enjoys creating portraits in the studio year round for anyone who would like a flattering portrait - for business or personal use. As an educator at the Cape Cod Conservatory of Music and Art, Dorene is thrilled to be helping others discover the joys of photography through regularly scheduled classes and one-on-one coaching.
Dorene Sykes Photography is a member of the Falmouth Chamber of Commerce. One of only four Certified Professional Photographers located on Cape Cod, Dorene Sykes is a member of the Professional Photographers of America, Professional Photographers Association of Massachusetts, Professional Photographers of Cape Cod, and National Association of Photoshop Professionals. She stays abreast of new portraiture techniques by attending seminars and workshops hosted by these organizations and held at the New England Institute of Professional Photography. Dorene is also a Juried Artist Member of the Cape Cod Art Association and a member of the Falmouth Artists Guild. Her fine art photographs have been accepted into all juried shows entered. Many have won awards.
Dorene Sykes Photography gives back to the community by supporting nonprofits with photography services. Recipients include: Community Health Center of Cape Cod, Falmouth Artists Guild, Falmouth Chorale, Falmouth Education Foundation, Falmouth Historical Society, Falmouth Newcomers Club, Highfield Hall, Solstice Singers, WCAI-FM, and Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Falmouth.
On a personal note, Dorene has been a singer ever since she can remember. She has sung with premier chamber and larger choral groups, including Boston Cecilia and currently New World Chorale based in Wellesley, MA. She is also an amateur genealogist. Knowing the degree to which family photographs are cherished by future generations drives her to create portraits of the finest quality.
With a passion for excellence, Dorene works diligently, in partnership with professional imaging labs, to create the finest portraits possible - works of art that clients are proud to display on their walls and give as gifts. Click here to find out what clients are saying.
