Photographer: Randy Van Duinen
Randy has been in love with photography from the first time he and his brother picked up his grandfather’s old Argus rangefinder camera. He has also combined his two other passions of architecture and travel, along with sharing that knowledge with others no his workshops, speaking, and training classes.
His home base in St. Petersburg, Florida, but he grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and lived in California for over 12 years. Randy was planning to become an architect until he picks up his grandfather’s camera, but he soon discovered he liked photographing architecture. Shortly after buying his first Olympus OM-1, he took his Old VW Bus camper and headed out west, where he found his affinity for landscape and travel photography.
Randy’s photography has been on the covers and inside national magazines ranging from “Interiors” and “Professional Builder” to the covers of “Professional Photographer” and “Photoshop User.” Randy has received the Silver Medal in the 2014 World Photographic Cup for his commercial photography and was on the USA Team both 2014 and 2016.
