Canon Shooting Stage WPPI 2007
Canon U.S.A., Inc., has assembled a group of the world's leading professional photographers to provide insight, inspiration and education to future generations of creative photographers. Known as the "Explorers of Light," this prestigious panel of Canon photographers delivers seminars, workshops, gallery showings and photo presentations at a variety of professional association and amateur photo groups and colleges across the country as a means of fostering imaging excellence and nurturing the increasingly digital art's next wave.
What’s our philosophy?
“Discover something fresh, do something clever, see something elusive, be someone admirable, wear something silly, ask something meaningful, learn something true, make something beautiful, and always - always - build upon the artistic wisdom of the giants who preceded us. This is the personal philosophy that has guided us throughout our award-winning careers, and it serves our clients equally well. Spontaneous and innovative or elegant and classic, our work is always a reflection of the truths we see. Share a glimpse of your personal passion, and we will create a commission that is telling, timeless, and insightful."
Workshops
Fellow artists seeking a supportive environment for creative growth are encouraged to join us for “on location” explorations, workshops, and seminars. All levels of experience are welcome at the iDC Workshops!
Where did we come from?
"We learned our craft as image-makers in Hollywood, New York, and Paris, and have the scars to prove it! Maura has twenty years of Hollywood experience as an Art Director and Visual Effects Producer, and Bruce capped a youthful career in fashion and advertising photography with a twenty-year tenure in the very exclusive Director’s Guild of America. We have earned a plethora of industry awards for excellence in image-making, but take pride in approaching each new commission with freshness and enthusiasm."
Wedding Commissions
Due to the depth of our commitment to a range of photographic commissions , we accept a limited number of wedding assignments each year. Please feel free to contact us via our email form and let us know about your photographic interests with details of your event's locations and any special plans.
Cheers!
Maura and Bruce
