Combat Vet Photography By Jeff Hackett

Combat Vet Photography By Jeff Hackett Combat Vet Photography(CVP) is a Veteran owned business. U.S Army 20 year Veteran Jeff Hackett is t Keep up the great work!

My name is Jeff Hackett and at a young age I became interested and was introduced to photography through my Uncle Russ who is a photographer in the city I grew up in. Both my father and I were very interested in the art of photography, and by the age of seventeen I was shooting with my first Film SLR camera, and had built a darkroom in the basement of our home. I am a self-taught photographer, wit

h advice and tips about my dark room experience from my uncle. I was introduced to computers and software by my dad, a Computer Science Major, when I was 8 years old. This computer background gave me an advantage and a great head start in the new age of the "digital dark room". In the spring of 1994, at the age of 20, I put my photography career on hold and joined the United States Army to serve my country. That was seven years before the events of 9/11/2001 occurred, but that’s why I joined the Army to defend freedoms that I hold so dear to my heart. In the ensuing years I have been to many countries and have had the opportunity to photograph many different cultures. I have seen many beautiful places that have unfortunately been torn apart by war. I was first published on the Internet by my dad who along with his life time friend and my God Father (AKA Uncle Don) owned a Video and photography studio for 16 years. My photography contributions were featured in their Windows Wallpaper section and was acknowledged with the following words on the main page of their web-site. A very special "thank you" to SFC Jeffrey Hackett (Photography by JP at the time and now Combat Vet Photography) whose many contributions included "A Portrait of Afghanistan", "Home Again", "Wild Things I, II and III", "Christmas Across America" (Indiana), "Winter Wonderland", "The Indianapolis Airshows", and Military Photography from Afghanistan, Panama, Kosovo, Haiti, and Korea. Your photography has covered a span of emotions from the simple things in life, such as the Innocence of childhood, Sunrises, Sunsets, and nature, to the grim business of war. Your "Portrait of Afghanistan" brought home to many families a picture of familiar faces and the day-to-day lives and surroundings of their loved ones. My photography of " A Portrait of Afghanistan" catapulted their site to Google’s number 1 on the web in 2006. On 15 August 2011during my 2nd tour in Afghanistan, I was severely injured by an Improvised explosive device while on a foot patrol. After spending a year at Walter Reed recuperating from my injuries, I was forced to medically retire from the US Army just short of 20yrs. Today, I am living my photography dream, doing what I love with the support of my three beautiful daughters.

Received some awesome news yesterday! Back in mid Oct Combat Vet Photography submitted photos for a photo contest in hopes of being selected to be showcased in the 2021 adaptive sports calendar. I’m pleased and super stoked to announce that one of my photos was selected to be in the 2021 Calendar and showcased in the month of April!! It’s great to have the Combat Vet Photography name on a nationally distributed calendar it helps as a photographer to be published which is awesome! I personally think that the most important thing is that this photo represents the USA Patriots, and our kids camp! It’s shows our players continuing the mission off the battlefield to inspire, lead, and educate others that there are no limitations! It’s shows the power of mentorship and the love that our players passionately give to our kid campers and it shows the determination these kids have not to quit and become an inspiration to others themselves! Because life without limb is limitless!

Senior Varsity picture shoot! Pictures were taking back in late October. The team also had group pictures taken that day so we were a little pressed on time. Overall my Client my oldest daughter Lol was very happy and satisfied with the finished product. She told me later that the school should've hired me for the group pics. I would've done a better job and produced a better quality product.

You don’t make a picture just with a camera. You find pictures everywhere but it’s knowing how to make that picture or pictures stand out from the rest. Make it come alive, make it become art. Don’t settle for simple. Make it beautiful and one of a kind!! My oldest daughter Caitlyn is going into the Nursing field , she’s also been pursuing photography. I’ve been teaching her for years and she has been studying a course from the New York institution of photography that I did years back. She did a photo shoot of me yesterday felt weird not taking the pictures but she she did great. She’s still learning and getting better all the time. If you want to do something in life that you love and want to be great at it. Keep at it, put the time and effort into to, but practice practice practice.

Took these pictures during Thanksgiving weekend. Though I took them with my phone, they still came out well. Brought back childhood memories. Walking the beach, walking down memory lane both good and bad. Spent a lot of time at the water growing up, it’s a part of me. Now I share it with you.

I captured these photo at the USA Patriot Kids Camp held at Virginia Wesleyan University. The past Three years I have not posted much on my Combat Vet Photography FB page. I apologize for my followers. The Past Three years I have been a Player on the USA Patriots Softball team, previously known as the Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team. It has been the best three years of my life. traveling the country playing exhibition games to Inspire and educate that life does not stop because of your injuries. You get back up and continue to apply yourself the best you can with no quit. The USA Patriots is America’s Amputee Softball Team travels the country playing able-bodied teams in competitive and exhibition softball games, bringing our unique brand of softball, courage, and inspiration to communities nationwide. The team is comprised of competitive, athletic veterans who have lost limbs in combat and non-combat related injuries. While some are still in the service, others are attending college thanks to the Post-9/11 GI Bill and others have moved on to new careers. These individuals continue to push the limits of modern prosthetics to inspire, motivate and offer a place for camaraderie and healing on and off the field of play and to continue Serving Beyond the Uniform. Our primary reason for fundraising, outside of the Veteran space, is to support our annual Kids Camp where we bring in 20 children (between 8-12 years old) with amputations for a week-long camp. Our team members serve as coaches and mentors for these children. I hope you enjoy the pictures of this years Kids Camp.
