About The Author
Bill Hurter started out in photography in 1972 in Washington, DC, where he was a news photographer. He even
covered the political scene—including the Watergate hearings. After graduating with a BA in literature from Amer-
ican University in 1972, he completed training at the Brooks Institute of Photography in 1975. Going on to work
at
Petersen’s PhotoGraphic
magazine, he held practically every job except art director. He has been the owner of his
own creative agency, shot stock, and worked assignments (including a year or so with the L.A. Dodgers). He has been
directly involved in photography for the last thirty years and has seen the revolution in technology. In 1988, Bill was
awarded an honorary Masters of Science degree from the Brooks Institute. He has written more than a dozen in-
structional books for professional photographers and is currently the editor of
Rangefinder
magazine.
