Monte Zucker (died March 15, 2007) was an American photographer. He specialized in wedding photography, entering it as a profession in 1947. In the 1970s he operated a studio in Silver Spring, Maryland. Later he lived in Florida. He was ''Brides'' Magazine's Wedding Photographer of the Year for 1990 and United Nations Photographer of the Year for 2002,〔Yvonne Shinhoster Lamb, "(Monte Zucker; 'Prince' Of Wedding Portraiture )", ''Washington Post,'' March 27, 2007.〕 and one of Canon's "Explorers of Light". Additionally, he was a prolific author and teacher, with monthly columns in magazines such as ''Shutterbug''. Several manufacturers made equipment bearing his name, most notably Westcott's "Monte Reflector". Unlike many photographers of his generation, he readily embraced new technology, particularly digital photography and Adobe Photoshop, featuring digital techniques in his columns right up until the end of his life, and relating them to earlier methods. He did a series of traveling workshops taught by himself and Eddie Tapp, who covered Photoshop techniques. ==Quotations== He noted in one column that one of his maxims was "See the finished picture before you even snap the shutter!" but at the same time he stated of a digitally retouched image, "Did I have this in mind when I first created the image? Yes and no. I wanted to create something artistic, something special. Did I know how I was going to do it? Not really." "If you like the way it looks, go with it! I liked it and I did it! Of course, it takes a lot of experience to develop good taste. When one is just starting out it's easy to like something without knowing if it's really good or not. That works some of the time, but an educated opinion usually works better." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Monte Zucker」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
