Joshua Withers is a versatile and knowledgeable photographer and Photoshop artist with experience ranging from commercial work to fine art. His formal photography education began with John Weiss (aka The Deuce of Barringo) at the University of Delaware. After Delaware, he began his professional Photoshop work in 1997 as assistant manager in the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops Digital Lab, working alongside many pre-eminent digital image-makers and Adobe technicians. Josh's career then led him to San Francisco, where he managed the digital workflow for commercial photographer RJ Muna. In 2003 he was recruited to develop an in-house retouching and digital photography studio to support TBWA\Chiat\Day in Los Angeles, one of the largest advertising agencies in the country. His photographic vision for the agency’s Pedigree dog food campaign resulted in a Lucie Award nomination and photography recognition in Communication Arts. Josh is a master of Adobe Photoshop and is part of Adobe's beta testing team. He is also an exhibiting fine artist, editorial/concert photographer, and educator who currently teaches at Pasadena Art Center College of Design and the Santa Fe Photo Workshops.
