Art Wolfe
Art Wolfe is an American photographer for Getty Images. He has taken three photos that were used in Windows: the default wallpaper of several Vista Beta 2 builds, along with img730 and img738 of Vista Starter. He also filmed the vid8895 video wallpaper, which comes with Windows DreamScene Content Pack #3.
In early 2007, he appeared in a Microsoft video titled Photographer Art Wolfe on Creating Art in the Digital Age, where he describes how his operating system makes creating and sharing his work easier. However, according to a friend of one of Wolfe's friends, Wolfe allegedly did not use Vista; the OS he actually used back then was Mac OS X Tiger, and the technology he discusses is actually Aperture.
