About:
Currently the chief of photography for Shore Publishing, a group of five weekly newspapers covering the Connecticut shoreline. My work spans breaking news, features, and high school and college athletics across several conferences. I bring the same standards from daily deadline coverage to freelance assignments for top tier colleges.

I'm currently pursuing an MA in Communications at Southern New Hampshire University, expected summer 2027, building on a BA in Legal Studies from Quinnipiac University. I also serve as the NPPA New England Regional Clips Chair, supporting photojournalists across the region.

Open to freelance assignments, portfolio reviews, and conversations with other visual journalists.

I also write longer-form pieces on photography at wesleybunnell.blog, covering the stories, gear, and process behind the work.
