So…Who Are These Guys?
Walter van Dusen
Photography has been a passion of Walter’s since high school. While stationed onboard a fast attack submarine, he visited many countries with his ever present trusty camera. Walter’s daughter Hannah was born in 1996 and, of course, he became a “Dad with camera”. In 1997 Walter realized he wanted to pursue his dream of becoming a professional photographer. It was after this realization that Walter attended photography school, workshops, seminars, mentoring sessions and assisted other photographers to gain as much knowledge and experience as possible. He fell in love with weddings and has been on a quest for continuing education and perfecting his craft ever since. Walter has set a goal for himself; to see more at weddings, going beyond what is just in front of him, looking around and finding the moments that no one expects me to see.
All of Walter’s competition prints and albums are from actual events. He is a three-time winner of Connecticut Photographer of the Year, 2-time Connecticut and New England Best in Show Wedding Album, 3-time Professional Photographers of America Loan Collection Prints, 5-time recipient of Connecticut and New England Court of Honor Awards, 6-time recipient of the Kodak Gallery Award (Wedding Images), 2-time recipient of Fuji Masterpiece Award for Prints, and several other wedding album and print awards.
Walter is also the founder and host of the Mystic Seminars, held every January in Mystic, CT. http://www.mysticseminars.com/ and he is proudly sponsored by Miller’s ProfessionalIimaging Labs.
Chris Rioux
After graduating from The Hallmark Institute of Photography in 2006, Chris Rioux has freelanced, second shot, retouched and consulted on workflow for dozens of photographers all over the country. The domains of these photographers range from wedding, portrait, and lifestyle to product, commercial and editorial. Chris specializes in Lightroom, Photoshop and overall workflow administration. Chris has been managing his own photography business alongside his freelance and consulting business since 2007. He has won a Kodak Gallery Award at the Annual Massachusetts PPA convention.
