In 1982, Dan and Lorraine Rodrigue opened Studio1 Photography in their home in Dresden, Maine. At the time, it occupied a space of about 250 feet. Today, the studio has grown to over 1,200 square feet. Approximately 1.5 acres of manicured gardens line the banks of the Eastern River outside.

In September 1994, Dan and Lorraine opened a second location in the Arts District of Downtown Portland. The former ballroom of the Maine Charitable Mechanics Association has been restored into a 3,000 square foot state of the art imaging facility. Studio1 uses high-resolution, digital photography to ensure memories are captured perfectly, and remain perfect.

In 1995 in Chicago, Illinois, Dan was presented the prestigious Photographic Craftsman Degree. Only four other photographers in the state of Maine have received this degree. Believing that he must constantly be learning more about his profession, Dan is currently working to obtain his Masters Degree. He is one of three Maine recipients of the National Award from the Professional Photographers Assoc. of New England.

Dan was once the President of the Maine Professional Photographers Association and President of the Professional Photographers Association of New England. He is currently a member of both, as well as the Professional Photographers Association of America, and the Greater Portland Chamber of Commerce.
