This September, the Petersburg Public Library is proud to showcase the work of Kyle Witten, a talented photographer and drone pilot whose passion for storytelling shines through every frame.

A transplant from Kentucky, Kyle and his family made Petersburg their home in 2024. Since then, they have been inspired by the city’s welcoming spirit, vibrant culture, and the exciting momentum of growth and change happening all around.

With over 20 years of experience in photography and videography, Kyle launched Modern Man Photography to provide high-quality media at reasonable prices. His work spans portraits, community events, small business branding, and stunning drone photography that captures Petersburg from above in ways few have seen before.

When he is not behind the camera, Kyle enjoys playing tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons and cooking comfort foods from around the world. His creative energy extends beyond his art. It is part of how he connects with others, building bridges across community, culture, and shared experiences.

Kyle’s belief is simple: if you are a person, family, community organization, or small business doing big things in Petersburg, you deserve to be seen and celebrated. Through his lens, he helps elevate those stories, capturing the beauty and strength of our city.

If you see him around town with his camera or drone, do not be shy. Wave and say hello.
