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…

Exploring Light, Discovering Style: A Lighting TutorialPart 1: Introduction
Photography is about composition. Photography is about where you stand, both physically and philosophically. It’s about the magic that occurs when preparation meets opportunity. It’s about being in the right place at the right time. It’s about anticipating the right place and the right time. more »Big Brucie Bloviates at Macworld…“Digital Art Pioneers and Trendsetters” - an Inspirational Panel on the Digital Arts

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 » |

Photography: What’s real, what’s not and does it matter?
Is there such a thing as integrity in a photograph?
I got some flack on Facebook about a past post on my blog . I received a comment from a reader or two stating they felt that what they saw in the produced images was not real. Meaning, after running through my workflow in Lightroom the images no longer represented reality. I have gotten this kind of feedback many times in the past. I think people are rather shocked at seeing a photo “undressed”. It’s a bit like seeing a high-fashion model on the streets without any makeup, it can be scary.
