Cecil Brathwaite knew from the first time he was introduced to photography in a photojournalism course at American University that he wanted to be on the creative side of the camera. After years of looking for the right fit, he embarked on an educational odyssey through the PPA (Professional Photographers of America), and learned photographic techniques from some of the most skillful master photographers in the U.S.

After his first classes at Winona School of International Photography (the school of the PPA), Brathwaite worked as a photographer for a prominent photographic studio in the Washington, DC metropolitan area whereby his knowledge and experience were put to the test when he photographed one of the most prestigious events of his career – the United States Presidential Inauguration.

With 15 years of professional photography under his belt, it has been his pleasure documenting events not only in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, but numerous cities throughout the United States. He is an active member of the PPA and also the National Association of Photoshop Professionals.

His expertise ranges from elegant portraiture and enchanting weddings, to sophisticated social and corporate events.

Photography has been a vehicle for him to capture and create images of some of the most renown people in the world such as President George W. Bush, former Presidents William Jefferson Clinton and George H. W. Bush, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, former South African President Nelson Mandela, Melinda Gates of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Yassar Arafat, Patti LaBelle, Tiger Woods, Wynton Marsalis, Senator Edward Kennedy, former heavy weight champion of the world Muhammad Ali, Larry King, Barbara Walters, Faye Dunaway, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Bill Cosby, Wynonna Judd and many others.

Prestigious corporations such as:

Ford Motor Company, Verizon, MCI, Frontier Communication, PGA - Presidents Cup, Major League Baseball, the West Group, Deloitte & Touche, Rubbermaid, Fannie Mae, the Economic Club of Washington, Mercedes Benz, Jaguar, BMW, Ford Motor Corporation, Harvard University, NPIM, Boston College, Lansdowne Resort, Manugistics, Canada Tourism, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Avalon Caterers Int’l, Amnesty Int’l, Hilton Washington, Union Station, Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, and BusinessWeek have also been privileged to experience the photographic services of Brathwaite Photography.
