SIX SHOOTERS--Sometimes the professional relationship between magazine photographers and writers is like watching two grown men trying to teach each other the tango.
Overall, the photographer and the writer are the middlemen between the homeowners, whose home is being photographed and the editor and art director. Writers try to please editors and photographers in turn try to please art directors. The tango then becomes a square dance.
The following San Diego photographers are ultimate pros. I’ve learned to step aside and let them do their work. I don’t have a favorite here. Given the photographer and the architect involved, the following are among the most satisfying assignments I’ve participated in.
The purpose here is to have you visit each phototographer’s website to view their extraordinary work.
