June FinerWorks Winners!

Welcome to our June newsletter! In celebration of Father’s Day, this month we’ll be focusing on capturing the unique and meaningful moments shared between fathers and their families. Let’s grab our cameras and celebrate the strength, wisdom, and joy that fathers bring into our lives.

Digital Photo Academy is pleased to bring you the latest updates and photography inspiration in our recently relaunched monthly newsletter. This is all made possible by our valued sponsor, Finerworks.

Photo by Jerry Downs, a Digital Photo Academy instructor in San Francisco.

This picture of DPA instructor Jerry Downs from San Francisco and his son, Christopher, was taken about thirty years ago. After setting the camera on a tripod, Jerry framed the shot and set the exposure for the sky. He knew that if he did this, the rest of the scene would become a silhouette. Then, he positioned himself and his son, profile angle to give the silhouette an interesting shape, directly in front of the sun and had someone click the shutter.

Jerry says: “When I look at this picture I’m reminded of how much fun we had when he was a little kid. It, also, reminds me of the power and magic of photography. Instantaneously, it took me right back there, as if no time had passed. I could feel the sun on my skin, the sand under my feet and the joy I felt looking into my son’s face and seeing him, like me, being totally thrilled to be alive. That is some powerful magic. Happy Father’s Day!”
