Welcome... and thank you for your interest in Van Rossen PhotoGraphics. A quarter of a century has passed since I borrowed a Pentex Spotmatic 35mm camera to take my first photography class. The excitement, artistry and passion for photography I first felt back then still drives me to achieve excellence today. I now divide my time between photographing the tremendous beauty of the Northwest and the equally creative and challenging world of commercial photography. For the past 25 years my commercial work has centered on the unique challenges of photographing jewelry and gemstones. Through assignments and diligent research I have tested almost every jewelry and gemstone photography set-up used today. This has led me to improve on what others have done and to design and perfect new set-ups. Now after literally thousands of photographs for customers' advertising projects, I can offer an unsurpassed expertise in this field.
