Rocky Schenck was raised on a ranch in Dripping Springs, Texas. Rocky began his artistic career as an oil painter at the age of twelve. As a teenager Rocky discovered filmmaking and photography. Rocky’s photographs are created primarily utilizing black and white 35 mm film, and then meticulously hand colored afterwards. A book of Rocky’s work titled, “Portraits, Etc.” is currently in the works.
