Doug Menuez began his career shooting for
newspapers in 1978, and shortly thereafter won an internship at the
Washington Post. In 1982 he began working for Time, Life, Newsweek, US News,
Fortune, People, USA Today and other national and international publications,
accepting assignments to cover news, feature stories and sports in the US and
abroad.
Menuez has covered many of the major news stories of the day, including the
famine in Ethiopia, presidential campaigns and party conventions, and the Los
Angeles Olympics in 1984. He has documented the homeless in America, the
destruction of the Amazon rain forest and the AIDS story. His work has
appeared in six Day in the Life books, The Power to Heal, and the Circle of
Life.
In 1987, Menuez began specializing in black-and-white photojournalism of
business and technology. He has completed special assignments, annual
reports, books, videos and long-term documentary projects worldwide for such
companies as Apple Computer, Adobe Systems, Beckman Instruments, Eastman
Kodak Company, J.P. Morgan, and Sun Microsystems.
In 1989, Menuez co-produced 15 Seconds: The Great California Earthquake of
1989, using Macintosh computers to complete book layout and design in ten
days. It was number one on the San Francisco Chronicle bestseller list, sold
70,000 copies in three months and raised over a half-million dollars for
earthquake victims.
In October 1993, Menuez completed Defying Gravity: The Making of Newton,
(Beyond Words Publishing) a dramatic, behind-the-scenes documentary of Apple
Computer's quest to invent a new technology for a new market. Menuez
combined his photos with text by Markos Kounalakis to give business readers a
case study relevant for companies seeking new ways to survive and compete in
the new global economy in the 1990's.
