Welcome to my web site. Here you will find some of my photograph images, created both for my personal enjoyment and to fulfill personal artistic purposes, but also created for others or in the line of my teaching or commercial photography. I hope you will enjoy viewing them.
My attempt is to create images of beauty, whether the captured image is of an animate or inanimate subject. The use of lighting is paramount, with both highlights and shadows being important aspects of the composition. With female portraits and model photography, the creative use of makeup is also an important part of the technique. And more recently, with digital images and Photoshopª, the opportunities for creativity are vastly increased. However, an experienced and creative eye is the most important aspect of capturing dynamic images with impact. I hope that at least a few of the images on this site will demonstrate some of the above mentioned attributes.
I have included a section on the Washington School of Photography (WSP), where I am a long time faculty member and Technical Director. This section includes a number of photographs which I have taken at some of the workshops and classes that I teach there. Also included below is a link to where you can locate additional information on the school if you are interested. The school is celebrating its' 31st year in 2007 as the Washington DC area's premier photography educational program, so please visit the WSP web site. Their web site includes all of the classes and workshops offered including dates, times, and costs, and is in the process of being updated to allow online registration. The school is located in Bethesda, Maryland in the suburban Washington DC area. The phone number of the school is 301-654-1998, and a map showing the location can be seen by clicking here.
Now, please enjoy the various sections below. Some sections may still be under construction, and so may not be complete. I will be adding and changing the photographs in other sections, so do come back and visit again when you get the chance. Contact information is at the bottom of this page, should you wish to contact me directly. Don Becker
After you have had a chance to view the above Sections, please return to sign the Guestbook, and leave some comments if you would like:
