Distinguished Jurors:

Terry Sutherland is a native of Southern California and has practiced Commercial and Fine Art Photography for 45 years. Terry first attended California State University Northridge, focusing on three-dimensional design and furniture design. In 1968, he received a scholarship to Art Center College of Design. He received his BFA in Photography from Art Center in 1973. While a student at Art Center, Terry participated in several Ansel Adams Workshops in Yosemite and Carmel. Those seminars afforded him the opportunity to work directly with Ansel Adams and other noteworthy fine art photographers, and to benefit from their critiques of his work. As the sole proprietor of Sutherland Photo Design for over 40 years, Terry achieved national and international recognition for his product and industrial design photography for clients such as Hewlett-Packard, Seiko, Sony, Atlantic Richfield, Disney, and USC. He also created images for successful wineries, including Caymus Vineyards, Chateau Montelena and Clos du Val. Terry has taught Advanced Lighting Techniques at Otis-Parsons Art Institute and was a regular Guest Lecturer at Brooks Institute of Photography and Art Center College in the Integrated Studies Program. In addition, he has produced an extensive portfolio of fine art images, which he exhibits around the greater Los Angeles area. Focusing on details often overlooked at first glance, Terry’s luminous images express his positive perception of the world and reflect his passion for the elements of light, color, texture, and design.
