Mitch Dobrowner
Mitch Dobrowner, an award-winning, fine art landscape photographer, initially studied and worked with large format film. Dobrowner now captures his images using a digital workflow, which gives him the real time controls and flexibility while on location. Dobrowner’s printmaking process is performed in a dry darkroom with minimal dodging and burning. Prints are produced using archival quality 100% cotton rag paper with pigment based inks. The results are black and white landscape photographs that are somewhat abstract, yet feature a detailed symmetry and depth that transforms “everyday” objects into iconic images.
Originally from Long Island, New York, Mitch Dobrowner made seven adventure-filled, cross-country trips between NY and LA in the late 1970’s and early ‘80’s, capturing images on old 35 mm Minolta cameras. Settling in Los Angeles in 1982, Mitch met his wife, Wendy Vanguard, a fine artist, painter and designer. They now live in Studio City with sons Jason (a musician) and Joshua (a student), and with their daughter, Asia (a designer), living nearby.
