Ken Milburn started his career as a professional photographer when he
was still in high school by specializing in weddings and portraits of his
classmates. Since then, his photographic career has included starlet publicity
photos for Universal Pictures, album covers for several labels (including
Capitol Records), editorial work for a number of publications (including The
Los Angeles Times Sunday Magazine and TV Guide), and a long list of advertising
clients (including Southern California Gas, Cole of California, Strega
Liqueurs, and the Fleur Corporation). He sells his photographs and digital
art at art festivals and fine art galleries, and his work has been featured three
times in Design Graphics Magazine and twice in Computer Graphics World.
Most recently, he won Sunshine Artists Magazines annual award for best art
festival poster of the year; the poster was featured on the cover of the May
2006 issue.
Ken's photographic career has been paralleled by a long career as a writer.
He started by writing two feature films, but most of his writing has been
in the form of columns, how-to articles, and technical books on the subject
of computer graphics. He has written more than 300 columns and articles
(many of which have featured his photographs) for such national trade magazines
as Publish, DV Magazine, MacWorld, Computer Graphics World, PC
World, and InfoWorld. He has also been a contributing editor and columnist
for Computer Currents and MicroTimes.
In addition, Ken is the principal author of 27 computer books, the majority
of which focus on various versions on Photoshop and digital photography.
Ken is the author of both the first and second editions of The Digital
Photography Bible (Wiley), as well as Digital Photography, 99 Easy Tips to
Make You Look Like a Pro (Osborne), Photoshop Elements 2.0 Complete
(Osborne), The Photoshop 7 Virtual Classroom (with live-motion lessons
on the CD-ROM), Master Visually Photoshop 6.0 (Wiley), Master
Visually Photoshop 5.5 (Wiley), and Photoshop 5.5 Get Professional Results
(McGraw-Hill). His latest books are Photoshop CS2 for Photographers Only
(Wiley) with co-author Doug Sahlin and, of course, the first edition of
Digital Photography: Expert Techniques (O'Reilly).
Ken has taken his Photoshop and digital photography expertise to an even
broader user base by working as a contributing editor for the MSNPhoto
web site, authoring user hints for the PhotoWorks online film processing
and printing service, and serving as an instructor for three courses at www.
sessions.edu.
