Edgar Praus

After graduating from the well-respected Master of Fine Arts photography program at the Rochester Institute of Technology, Edgar worked as a professional photographer for several years. "I found that I loved the quiet times in the darkroom best – I'm a perfectionist and have always loved making the finest prints possible."

His photo business evolved into a full-time photo lab, and Edgar specialized in doing fine black-and-white work. He was also one of the few people making color prints using the beautiful but challenging dye transfer process.

As color technology changed, Edgar became a consultant and helped refine current E-6, C-41, RA-4, and Cibachrome color processes. "Today’s color printing technology is better than ever – and we helped create it here at Praus Productions."

In his spare time, Edgar is the founder – and primary photographer – of the American Highway Project, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving America’s roadside culture through photographic documentation. Be sure to visit the AHP website at www.highwayproject.org.
