Monte Zucker, who was known as the dean of the traditional-style wedding photographers for his classic posing and lighting techniques, died of pancreatic cancer March 15 at his home in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He was 77.

A Washington native, Mr. Zucker operated a photography studio in the Washington area for more than 50 years -- in Garfinckel's department store in Montgomery Mall, in the White Flint area in Rockville and in Silver Spring. About 10 years ago, he moved to Florida, where he continued to work as a photographer and teach and mentor amateur and professional photographers.

Mr. Zucker, who began taking wedding photographs in the late 1940s, was an authority on posing, lighting, composition and other aspects of classical photography. Some of the industry's most successful photographers employ his techniques for weddings and portraits.<<<
