About our Speaker: Quest Couch
While in graduate school Quest served as assistant to, and was inspired by Rod Whitaker (pen name Trevanian), Radio, Television and Film Departmental Chair and author. Whitaker also introduced Quest to then CBS anchor Walter Cronkite. Later, Quest would write a script for Cronkite documenting the Lower Pecos Indians of Texas. The presentation was narrated by KENS TV anchor Chris Marrou. Over two decades, Quest Productions would produce and Marrou would narrate over 30 films/videos/presentations for a long list of clients. Subjects ranged from children with Muscular Dystrophy to captains of industry, including three presidents of the United States, photographed for political advertising legend Lionel Sosa.

Quest’s career in photography and related activities has spanned nearly four decades. The varied projects and assignments included work for an eclectic clientele. The challenges of moving quickly and setting up fast while making quality images resulted in the his development of the LumiQuest line of photographic accessories. He continues to shoot and develop new accessories for today’s digital photographer.

Quest co-founded Lumiquest in 1987. The company is headquartered in New Braunfels and produces a line of light modifiers and other photographic accessories.
