Bruce Dorn has been involved in the visual arts for thirty-eight years. Bruce’s photographic career began when Conde Nast publishing named him as a Guest Art Director of Mademoiselle Magazine. After opening a studio on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, Bruce shot for a variety of fashion, business, and news magazines, as well as Annual Report and Advertising photography. Bruce was later offered a position as a lecturer at the Fine Art campus of Indiana and Purdue University in Indianapolis where he taught all levels of Design and Photography and began the certification process for the school to offer a BFA in Photography. Bruce then moved to Phoenix, Arizona where he opened Studio B, a boutique studio specializing in advertising and visual problem solving. Shortly after, an opportunity arose for Bruce to act as the Director of Photography for series of thirty-second television commercials that took Bruce to the finals of the Clio Awards competition. Bruce was inducted into the Directors Guild of America and won numerous industry awards, including the Art Directors Club Awards, Clio Awards, Mobius Awards, and a Bronze Lion from the Cannes Commercial Film Festival.

After five years, Bruce spun off to create Bruce Dorn Films, a commercial production company specializing in both analogue and digital effects. As a director/cameraman, Bruce specialized in high-risk cinematography, with expertise in lighting, special effects, underwater, and aerial cinematography.

Bruce travels extensively as he serves his commercial clientele, guides digital safaris, and conducts lectures on lighting, photography, and digital film-making technique. Bruce is a Western Digital Creative Master, a Canon Explorer of Light, a Canon Print Master, and a Corel Painter Master.
