A few years later, he opened a photography studio in the Chicago area specializing in advertising and studio photography. Often, an image is sepia or selenium toned to exude luminosity and a gentle warmth that enhances the subject's ethereal quality. During his travels he realized that his personal photography was more challenging and rewarding than studio photography.Often, he will apply both tones, in separate sections to the same photograph or hand-color with pencils and watercolors. Kozal also works in color printing Fuji Crystal Archive and Kodak Metallic prints. His subject matter consists mostly of landscapes of the Southwest and California.
