Chad Hudson, Videographer/Photographer

Chad was born and raised in South Georgia. He currently lives in Albany with his wife and two boys. When he isn’t taking photos or shooting videos for the city, he is spending time with his family, traveling, or working on his own video/photo projects. Chad joined the PIO team in October of 2023; and with the support of his colleagues, he’s been able to flex his creative muscles in a variety of different ways for the city. “I’ve really enjoyed being a part of the PIO team. I consider myself incredibly lucky, that each day, I get to work with amazing people and use my creative skills to positively impact the City of Albany. I want to work here for a very long time and continue to grow creatively and in my career.” - Chad Hudson
