Local Chattooga County photographer Chad Bierkamp has been voted “Best of the Best” for photography in the Chattanooga Times-Free Press’s “Northwest Georgia Best of the Best Awards.”

Chad Bierkamp said, “A month or so back I got a phone call letting me know i was in this years top 10 for Best of the Best and asked you all to vote for me. After that I never heard anything back after voting was over so I just forgot about it. I was completely blown away when I got another call saying I finished in the top 3!”

Last year was the first year that Bierkamp started doing his photography full time.  In addition to traditional photography, Bierkamp also does areal drone photography and was instrumental in an amazing video produced highlighting Chattooga County’s agricultural producers in 2021.

Bierkamp added, “You all continue to amaze me with all of your support. I truly would not be where i am today in my career if not for God and every single one of you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much! This means more than you know.”
