Bruce Dorn
Bruce Dorn has been involved in the visual arts thirty-five years. Bruce’s photographic career began in 1973 when Conde Nast publishing named him as a Guest Art Director of Mademoiselle Magazine. After opening a studio on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, Bruce immediately began to shoot photo essays for a variety of fashion, business, and news magazines. He soon expanded his services to include both Annual Report and Advertising photography. In 1976, Bruce was offered a position as a lecturer at the Fine Art campus of Indiana and Purdue University in Indianapolis where he taught all levels of Design and Photography. In 1980, Bruce moved to Phoenix, Arizona where he opened Studio B, a boutique studio specializing in advertising and visual problem solving. In 1983, an opportunity arose to act as the Director of Photography for series of thirty-second television commercials that took Bruce to the finals of the Clio Awards competition. One of the other finalists in the same category was the Hollywood visual effects powerhouse, Robert Able and Associates. Shortly after the competition, Robert Able interviewed Bruce and offered him the position of Creative Director at RAA. After relocating to Hollywood, Bruce conceptualized and directed hundreds of national and international television commercials for RAA. In the process, Bruce was inducted into the Directors Guild of America and won numerous industry awards. These include multiple Art Directors Club Awards, Clios, Mobius Awards, and a Bronze Lion from the Cannes Commercial Film Festival. In 1989 Bruce opened Bruce Dorn Films, a commercial production company specializing in both analogue and digital effects. As a director/cameraman, Bruce specialized in high-risk cinematography. His expertise in motorsport, underwater, and helicopter work was in constant demand until he retired from Hollywood in 2001. Bruce currently lives in Prescott, Arizona where he and his wife - internationally-recognized digital painter Maura Dutra - operate iDC Photography, a Visual Arts studio. Bruce travels extensively as he serves his commercial clientele, guides digital safaris, and lectures on lighting, photography, and digital film-making technique. Bruce is a Canon Explorer of Light, a Canon Print Master, and a Corel Painter Master. He is also an unrepentant gadgeteer and enjoys inventing all manner of nifty gizmos in his Little Shop of Wonders…

5D Mark II Video, Part TwoDigging deeper: Exposure Control Under Daylight Conditions
Cinematography, photography, and videography are undeniably machine-based crafts. Just as a painter needs to understand the character and limitations of her brushes, so too do we need to understand the nuance of our camera systems. A mastery of technical craft doesn’t assure the ascension to Art but it certain helps to smooth the path. While the mastery of our craft can become a fascinating obsession in itself, my preference is to take the long view and treat technique as an enjoyable means to a gratifying end. more »Introduction to the 5D Mark II’s Video Feature
Now that people are starting to get their new 5D Mark IIs, all sorts of questions are emerging. After the camera has been excitedly unboxed, carefully charged, poked, prodded, and weighed for merit, test shots are in order. I have no doubt that each and every one of you has a whole laundry list of things to investigate. Once that’s done, I encourage you to take a peek at the new HD capture function. I just finished a big project that features a fusion of 5D Mark II HD footage and still captures. Here are a couple of sample images. more »Click to PLAY VIDEO »Welcome to Studio B!
As a cursory glance at my long-winded resume will quickly reveal, I’ve been shooting for a very long time. I’ve never done anything else, actually; every meal I’ve enjoyed – and I do enjoy my meals - has been paid for with monies earned from behind a viewfinder. Over the course of my thirty-five year professional career as a photographer and filmmaker I’ve seen tons of changes in the industry and well, here we go again… more »Page 1 of 1 pages |

Three new backpacks for shooting in crowded urban settings released
Think Tank Photo has launched a new design in photo backpacks, the StreetWalker™ series.
With the three new backpacks’ slim vertical profile, photographers can navigate crowded places and public transportation while still being able to access professional photographic equipment. This solves a significant problem experienced by photographers shooting in urban and other crowded environments: getting the shot in spaces that allow little room for navigating. Their unique unisex design makes them useful for both men and women photographers.
