Brian Anderson on Fstoppers

B. W. A. Services

My wife was agreeable to my photographic interest so we built a color and black and white dark room in our guest bathroom. I began by using medium format, two and a quarter and four by five cameras. My friend with a darkroom is Robert Bagley, a long time wedding and portrait photographer. Robert took me under his wing and taught me the ends and outs of his field. I began shooting weddings, portraits and events regularly on weekends. Soon I was noticed by my work and was hired for the Miss Universe Pageant, to cover shoes and apparel. My work for the pageant caught the eye of the Beverly Hills Peoples paper and they used me for events. The Guest Informant a hotel directory accepted my advertisements for some of my shoe and apparel clients and carried my work regularly.

My education is from books, hands on training and trial and a few errors (many). I have had much experience with many areas of photography. I now enjoy out door scenics, animals, people and teaching others to see and enjoy documenting precious moments to keep and share.
