Bruce Hardin Hi, my name is Bruce Hardin. At age 12, my grandmother gifted me a Kodak camera with 110 film. It was a simple gift but had a life-long impression on me that led to my passion and life commitment to this artform. I understand that being in front of a camera can often feel intimidating and overwhelming. I take pride in being an easy going, compassionate and light-hearted person to bring ease to people before they step in front of my camera, during and after. Balancing professionalism with a safe, relaxed environment, is my philosophy to collaboratively create superior and creative work whether at a large event with hundreds of guests, or when working one-to-one.

Chuck Vosburgh Chuck Vosburgh is a longtime member of TAPPA and as previously served two terms on the Board of Directors. After more than 30 years as an creative director and commercial photographer specializing in travel and lifestyle photography. He is also an Adobe Certified Expert in Photoshop, Certified Adobe Business Partner and a Comp TIA Certified Technical Trainer and earned his Professional Photographer certification from PPA in 2016. Today Chuck teaches Photoshop at the Morean Arts Center and is a Realtor with his Wife Pat who are both in the top 1% of real estate agents in the US in terms of education and certifications.
Win Wolloff My name is Win Wolloff and I view the world through eyes that have seen a lot. I have been a news photographer, wedding photographer, portrait photographer, and for more than 40 years the owner of my own commercial photo studio. I have worked in the motorcycle industry, as a ski instructor, musician, animal handler, and for the past 20 or so years as a teacher. As I enter my seventh decade I find myself working to create images using the tools that changed my professional life. The computer and Giclee printer have opened avenues of expression that allow me to express my vision in ways that I could never even have contemplated at the beginning of my career. I love making beautiful images of the world in which I have lived and enjoyed.
I hold the degrees of Master of Photography and Photographic Craftsman from The Professional Photographers of America and was among the first to become a Certified Professional Photographer taking the test when it was offered at the NE convention so long ago I can’t remember the date. I spent the last 20 or so years as an adjunct instructor at The International Academy of Design and Technology teaching imaging software as well as lighting courses for both portrait and commercial students. I was instrumental in hiring most of the staff and writing much of the course of study (with the other members of the board)
