The photography world lost an icon this month – Jeff Schewe. For those who don’t know: Jeff was a Chicago-based commercial photographer, a digital imaging pioneer, an author, and an educator. It was this last point that first introduced me to him. He was instrumental to my education in my early days when I was learning about colour management, digital image processing, and printing. It would be an understatement to say he had a major impact on my photographic education, approach and technique. When Jeff spoke, I listened and learned and would eagerly consume his educational and instructional videos – particularly those he created with the late Michael Reichman. Jeff had a knack for cutting through the endless disinformation on the internet and for simplifying results-driven processes. The photography world is less for his passing. Rest in peace, Jeff.
