Achieving Art Through Intuition and Expertise
It is often said of Don that he is an extraordinary listener – it is this rare ability that enables him to extract the core of a person’s personality and it is then that he captures the image. It is also the reason agencies and high-profile individuals have enlisted Don’s unique and beautiful approach to photography.
A 1981 graduate of Brooks Institute in California, Don blends decades of commercial photography experience with his intrinsic feel for the fine art of photography to create award-winning and powerful images. His understanding of the desire to reach the audience, consumer or otherwise, allows him to work successfully with other creative leaders in an interactive and collaborative manner to accomplish the goal.
“Dear Don:
“Thanks for your talent and letting me be in front of your camera. I’ve worked with many photographers before, but your talent exceeds them all. Your encouragement and professionalism made the hours seem like minutes and the shoot inspirational.”
Ben,
