Charles Cramer After spending seven years of college studying classical piano, Charles Cramer visited Yosemite National Park, and soon realized he wanted out of those tiny practice rooms! Realizing the similarities between interpreting music and interpreting a negative, he soon became enamored with making prints. Thirty years later, he is recognized as a master printmaker in both darkroom-based dye transfer printing, and now in digital processes. Cramer has photographed extensively in Yosemite, and in 1987 was selected by the National Park Service to be an artist-in-residence. His prints are available internationally through many galleries, and his work has been published by National Geographic Books, Sierra Club, and the Yosemite Association. He has taught digital imaging for the Ansel Adams Gallery Workshops, Palm Beach Workshops, Anderson Ranch, The Lepp Institute, and others. He has been profiled in PhotoTechniques, PhotoVision, and View Camera Magazines. He is also included in the book "Landscape: The World's Top Photographers," published in 2005. His work can be seen at: www.charlescramer.com |
