d.e.bosley, jr.

I was born in Columbus, OH., attended Columbus Public Schools and graduated from Tennessee State University. I studied photography at The Ohio State University and the New York Institute of Photography, and I am a member of WPPI and AAPNA.

I developed an interest in photography at the age of 12 while attending Champion Jr. High and I was active in the photography club mentored by Mr. Woods. I was marginally active in photography through high school and university. During this time I acquired my first 35 mm camera. In 1970 I became interested in Wedding Photography and enrolled in Basic Photography classes at The Ohio State University. I exhibited works in three student exhibitions and had one independent exhibition at a local recreation center during this period. I studied and developed under the guidance of instructor Barbara Hampton at OSU for two years. In 1975 I took my first wedding photography job and from that time until 1999 (having photographed over 200 weddings) devoted my full attention to this type of photography.

In 1988 I attended the Nikon School, attended three Monte Zuker workshops and read a number of the top books on wedding photography. From January 1989 to December 1990 I studied through the NYI school of photography where I completed the program with honors.

I met Abdi Roble in February of 1999 and was introduced to AAPNA. In March of that year I visited an AAPNA meeting and was reintroduced to the wonder of creative photography. With a renewed interested I began to study and attend AAPNA’s monthly meetings, and became a member in November of 1999. I take an active role in this organization and have participated in many of its contest and exhibitions.
