“I myself have always stood in the awe of the camera. I recognize it for the instrument it is, part Stradivarius, part scalpel.” -Irving Penn

Welcome to the home of Leslie Cusano Photography — thanks for stopping by! I graduated from Kent State University with a bachelor of science degree in visual journalism and a minor in writing. While on campus, I worked for a number of student media outlets including The Daily Kent Stater, Kent News Net, The Burr, Fusion, Luna Negra and Artemis. I also worked for three years as a marketing assistant at the university’s public radio station, 89.7 WKSU-FM. Now I’m living in my beloved hometown of Youngstown and working as a freelance photographer shooting people, places, products, weddings and even an occasional video here and there. I would love to hear from you! Feel free to leave me a comment or drop me a line at .
