Company Description

My name is Volker “Frank” Buddenbrock, German by birth, but pretty much raised in the U.S. I’ve been shooting photos since a high school photography class and the gift of a Minolta 202 SLR- pretty snazzy in its day- I remember many of my friends in photo class shooting twin-lens reflex cameras. (I shot with them later as well, and ultimately 8×10 and 4×5 studio cameras before adopting the first single-shot digital camera made by PhaseOne.)
My younger sister Michele wanted to be a model, and it seemed natural that I would take the photos she needed for her modeling school. They came out quite good- so good in fact that several of her classmates (aspiring models all) asked if I might take their shots as well. How bad could that be- shooting pictures of pretty young girls- and getting paid for it?!?! Needless to say- I was hooked.
Later I assisted numerous Los Angeles-based photographers: Dan Wolfe, Harry Langdon, Aaron Rapapport, among others, before launching out on my own. 12769 S. Transport Way, Nampa, ID 83686, United States
