About Ken Milburn
Author, Photographer, Digital Photography Specialist

Ken Milburn started his career as a professional photographer when he was still in high school by specializing in weddings and portraits of his classmates. Since then, his photographic career has included starlet publicity photos for Universal Pictures, album covers for several labels (including Capitol Records), editorial work for a number of publications (including The Los Angeles Times Sunday Magazine and TV Guide), and for a long list of advertising clients (including Southern California Gas, Cole of California, Strega Liqueurs, and the Fleur Corporation). He also sells his photographs and digital art at art festivals and fine art galleries. This work has been featured three times in Design Graphics Magazine and twice in Computer Graphics World.

Milburn’s photographic career has been paralleled by a long career as a writer. He started by writing two feature films. Most of his writing, however, has been in the form of columns, how-to articles, and technical books on the subject of computer graphics. He has written over 300 columns and articles (many of which have featured his photographs) for such national trade magazines as Publish, DV Magazine, MacWorld, Computer Graphics World, PC World, and InfoWorld. He has also been a contributing editor and columnist for Computer Currents and MicroTimes.

In addition, Ken Milburn is the principal author of 20 computer books. The majority of these focus on various versions on Photoshop and digital photography. Ken is the author of both the first and second editions of The Digital Photography Bible (Wiley) as well as Digital Photography, 99 Easy Tips to Make You Look Like a Pro (Osborne), and Cliff’s Notes on Taking and Sharing Digital Photographs. His Photoshop books include Photoshop Elements 2.0 Complete (Osborne), The Photoshop 7 Virtual Classroom (with live-motion lessons on the CD-ROM), Master Visually Photoshop 6.0, Master Visually Photoshop 5.5, and Photoshop 5.5 Get Professional Results.

Ken has also taken his Photoshop and digital photography expertise to an even broader user base by working as a contributing editor for the MSNPhoto Web site, authoring user hints for the PhotoWorks on-line film processing and printing service.

About John Martin
Professional Digital Photographer, Founder SFDIG
John has been on the forefront of digital imaging for more than eight years. He was invited to speak at Macworld and Seybold. John was manager and set up the digital photography department in Butterfields Auction House.

With this experience he moved on to open his own studio, JFM Digital Imaging with the goal of being all digital from the start. He is also the founding member of the San Francisco Digital Imaging Group (SFDIG). Only a handful of photographers in Northern California have the experience and confidence that John has with digital photography.

Now in the same spirit as SFDIG, John is offering his services as a master digital photographer to work with photographers who lack the experience or confidence to shoot digital.

John can supply everything photographers need to shoot digital or use their existing digital systems. The photographer can concentrate on the job and let John take care of the digital end of it. References are available on request.

About Mark Rutherford
Professional Digital Photographer, Founder SFDIG

Mark has been a commercial photographer for over 20 years, investigating since the mid-1990's the burgeoning possibilities of an all-digital workflow. As an innovator in the field, he is widely sought as a shooter and color management consultant.

A native of Detroit, he began shooting at the age of nine when his after school science club took a trip to a darkroom. He later moved to Chicago, honing his craft in the studios of a national magazine. In the early 1980's he transplanted to L. A., where he continued assisting as he moved into shooting for fashion designers, catalog retailers, and movie studios. He later opened his studios in the Bay Area, where he continues to work and learn today.

“I shoot all digital for the clarity and creative control it allows”, explains Mark. “An all-digital workflow allows me to offer retouching and color management as an integral part of the photographic process. This enables most creative decisions to be implemented at the source, with many projects made ready for press the day of the shoot”.

Mark Rutherford and John Martin are also founders of SFDIG (San Francisco Digital Imaging Group, www.sfdig.org) whose mission is to help its members develop their knowledge of “best practices” in digital imaging, and to provide a forum for discussion with colleagues. SFDIG is open to all Bay Area digital imaging professionals.
