ABOUT WAYNE COSSHALL
Wayne J. Cosshall has been a photographer since he was 14, getting his first camera to connect to the telescopes he was mad about. Thus his first pictures were of the stars and he has gradually come down to earth.

He is the publisher of Digital ImageMaker International (www.dimagemaker.com), the most popular Australian photography online magazine. Wayne has been a teacher, educator and communicator all his adult life, including many years in computer science and also taught (and consulted) at a number of small, private tertiary educational institutions, teaching photography, Photoshop, digital art and web design.

He created his first computer graphics image in 1979, built his first computer in 1980 and constructed his first digital camera in 1986. Wayne has written for and/or edited most of the Australian photography and graphic design magazines, and written for several of the major US ones. Wayne's personal art work is strongly photomedia based and is currently an even mix of infrared and visible light work, some printed un manipulated and some extensively worked in Photoshop.
