"My father got me started in photography," Jon Van Gorder recalled recently. "He bought me a twin-lens reflex Yashica, so we could take pictures together. I've been at it ever since." Since his early exploration into black-and-white phologra- phy—in a cellar darkroom where the music of Jethro Tull and the Allman Brothers Band blasted away—Van Gorder has entered the digital realm, transforming his passion for capturing the perfect image into a booming business in Fairfield, Connecticut. A one-stop shop for local ad agencies and businesses, Van Gorder's studio shoots everything from food and tech gadgets to fashion. His knack for creating images that exude wit and beauty has drawn a roster of satisfied clients, including IBM, Best Foods, Timex, Fuji, Lea Perrins, FIS, Pilot Pen, and the Danbury Mint.
