He then worked as a photojournalist for several years and subsequently embarked on a successful 35-year career in commercial and advertising photography in Paris, London, and the United States, his work winning numerous international awards and recognition. Mr. Dutertre recently earned his M.F.A. in photography from the Art Academy University in San Francisco, summa cum laude, and his photographic art, darkly influenced by his personal experiences in war, has attracted the attention of galleries as well as private and corporate collectors.
