By Roger Daines This is the first of 3 articles; Part 2 will appear in the June Newsletter and Part 3 in the July edition. Let me start with some background. I started my career in photography in 1988 as a wedding and portrait photographer with a small studio in a business park in Escondido, California. After a couple of years, I joined the Professional Photographers of San Diego, the Professional Photographers of California and the Professional Photographers of America all in the same week. I am now living in UK and a member of RPS I guess it was my background in engineering and surveying that drew me to the commercial side, especially the architectural photography, and I started getting commercial assignments, that’s when I got my first 4x5 large format studio camera and never looked back! This Image of the Metroplex, San Diego, commissioned by Architect, Velvia50. This image was selected for the front cover of the PPA “Professional Photographer”. PPA “Loan Collection”
Promo image of a light bulb. In-camera effects, no PS, Velvia50. This image was “runner-up” with PPA’s cover image competition.
