Photographer Spotlight<br />
Rudolph De Ram<br />
“I was born in the Netherlands and raised in the Midwest. My interest in art and photography<br />
began back in early childhood. I’ve always enjoyed drawing and painting and my introduction to<br />
photography began at around age nine when I received a toy camera that used “real film”. After<br />
high school, I attended the American Academy of <strong>Art</strong> in Chicago where I studied life drawing,<br />
illustration, and design. With a solid reference from one of my art school instructors, I landed a<br />
job with a small advertising agency. That was the beginning of a professional journey that included<br />
work at various advertising firms and industrial design firms. During that period I continued my<br />
interest in photography, painting... and all things about the American West.<br />
I’ve been a fan of the iconic American Cowboy for as far back as I can remember. Growing up in<br />
the late 50’s and thru the 1960’s, television still offered a steady run of “Westerns”. The Hollywood<br />
image of the Heroic Cowboy left a lasting impression on me. I continue to be fascinated with the<br />
true history and culture of the American West from the early pioneers to the issues that face the<br />
Western States today.<br />
Some of my Western photographs have been exhibited at the Cody <strong>Art</strong> League Gallery in Cody<br />
Wyoming, Open Shutter Gallery in Durango Colorado and the Center for <strong>Fine</strong> <strong>Art</strong> Photography in<br />
Fort Collins Colorado. I was selected for the Cowboys & Indians <strong>Magazine</strong>, Special Edition Photography<br />
Issue, and in 2008 I was fortunate to have an image selected as the overall Grand Prize<br />
Winner. I’ve also had photos selected for the B&W <strong>Magazine</strong>’s Single Image Issue and the Portfolio<br />
Contest Special Issue.<br />
As a participant in the <strong>Fine</strong> <strong>Art</strong> festival circuit I’ve been fortunate to receive various awards including<br />
the 2012 and <strong>2013</strong> best of category awards for photography at Barrington <strong>Art</strong> Festival<br />
Illi<strong>no</strong>is, the 2011 best in photography at Wells Street <strong>Art</strong> Festival in Chicago and Fountain Square<br />
<strong>Art</strong> Festival in Evanston Illi<strong>no</strong>is. Also in 2011, I received the Dorothy Burgert Memorial Award for<br />
Outstanding Achievement in Photography at <strong>Art</strong> Fair on the Square in Lake Forest Illi<strong>no</strong>is.”<br />
