Jeff Burkholder I entered the photography world in 1981, in college, and as a stringer for the Associated Press; then pursued the photojournalism career with small regional newspapers and magazines. A photojournalist by training, I spent my early days in high school drawing lines to become an architect/draftsman. A high school biology instructor spurred him to use a camera to document some class assignment, from there he got the 'bug' (literally, I was photographing insects for a class assignment).

Bill Santos Bill Santos here (virtually, via CAworkshops team writing this), professional photographer, based in Sacramento, CA and been in this biz for quite some time. I've been so swamped with work and productions that I've not really had time to write my full 'real bio'. So, the CAworkshops' team have banged out some text to hold in this place so when I return from vacation we'll replace it with something from me..

Chris Tierney I have been a professional photographer for 31 years. I began my career shooting commercial photography after my training at Laney College in Oakland. During my years in the Navy, I worked as a photographer in Navy Intelligence. Earlier in my career, my wife and I had a photography studio, Creative Images, in Elk Grove California. Our focus was sports, children and families. Later I developed a strong senior high clientele, and was active in the Elk Grove Schools both as a photographer and as a member of the Rotary Club.

Mark Loper Maybe like you, Mark Loper has been experimenting with photography and taking photos for over 25 years. He has been playing with cameras from Polaroid, to Disc, to point and shoot, to SLRs, both film and digital. Without formal training, he was a self taught hobbyist photographer experimenting with settings on the camera and reading through camera manuals and technique tutorials online. Through the years, he has become quite an accomplished photographer specializing in fine art landscape photography to events and aviation photography and more. Take some time to visit his fine art website, his event website, and his flickr posts. He is the every day kind of photographer keeping the professionals here on CAworkshops grounded to the needs of the beginning and intermediate photographer's needs.

While attending college to pursue an accounting degree, I took a black and white photography course to help satisfy the art requirement. Passion for photography developed almost immediately, and my goal of becoming a CPA quickly disappeared.
My accounting skills came in handy when I applied for and got a job as a bookkeeper at Lightwork, a photography store in Sacramento. In addition to being surrounded by many talented photographers, I was able to participate in workshops free of charge. A class taught by Ginny Giles in hand-coloring was where I was first introduced to this unique art form. Thank you Ginny!

I was born, raised and have lived in Sacramento my whole life. That's not to say that I haven't "been around". I have traveled much of the world(not nearly enough!) but Sacramento is my home.
As a child I never wanted to be anything except an artist. My very supportive parents had me in art classes then came Jr. high, high school and college where I continued to draw, paint and sculpt... art is part of who I am. full bio |
