Education in transition Brandenburg began studying photography his junior year of high school in Spokane, Washington. “Back then, the classes were all for film (photography),” he said. “They taught me how to develop my own 35mm film in the darkroom and all of that stuff.” Brandenburg went on to attend the Brooks Institute, a nationally accredited for profit arts school in California, for college. While a student at the now-defunct college, Brandenburg witnesses photography’s sea change from the darkrooms and chemicals of film to the simplicity of digital. “By the time I graduated, all the classes offered were only for digital photography,” he said. “I’m glad to have grown up in this cool time of photography transition. I was able to get a technical background in film and digital.” Brandenburg exclusively shot digital photographs for a while because it was a convenient process, especially when he went on hikes, as he didn’t need to lug around extra film and equipment. Since then, though, the photographer has returned to film by shooting with a large format view camera, the massive piece of equipment made famous by 20th-century landscape photographers like Ansel Adams. “I only recently started shooting film and have been using an camera that looks like an old field camera,” he said. “The photos I take with this camera are larger and extends the view of the scene, so I have to be more critical of my compositions to make them all look good.” ‘What’s all around me’ Brandenburg was drawn to UNIQUE BOUTIQUES!

So I had to get out of my car to compose a shot.” The serenity of moments like those helps Brandenburg put things into perspective, he said. “It’s been pretty busy lately with all the preparation for the arts festivals and client requests,” he said. “So when I see scenery like this, I have to slow down and enjoy what’s all around me.” Brandenburg said sharing these images add to the joy of shooting them. “There is such a diversity of landscape here in Utah,” he said. “And I like showing people what we have.” Patrick Brandenburg will be one of the artists who will participate in the 49th annual Park City Kimball Arts Festival, which will run from Friday, Aug. 3, to Sunday, Aug. 5, on Main Street.
