John Birchard Photography

I have been a full time commercial photographer for more than 10 years. I have a well equipped studio near Mendocino, and I also do location work regularly.

My digital photographic equipment includes A Canon 20D digital camera , and laptop computer for instant proofing, editing, and burning of CD's. I am also equipped with 35mm, medium format, and large format still photography equipment, studio and location lighting, automated film developing (for 1 hr. E-6).

I studied magazine and photojournalism at the University of Kansas and have authored and photographed three (how-to) books about woodworking and numerous magazine articles in both the travel and how-to genres. I have also produced instructional and promotional video tapes.

I am currently showing my fine art landscape photography at the Highlight Gallery in Mendocino.
