Your Bio

Welcome to 911photography.com!

My love is emergency medicine, but my passion is definitely photography. I am not only a full-time emergency physician, but also a busy part-time professional photographer.

My daughter jokes that I have seen all the important moments of my life through a viewfinder, even her birth -- she is right!

My first camera was a Kodak Instamatic, which my parents gave me for Christmas when I was 8 years-old. I have not stopped taking pictures since! It was not until my 15th birthday that I received my first "real camera" (Olympus OM-2). I went on to take every photography course that my high school and college had to offer.

I finally switched to digital in 2002 and I love the medium! I enjoy the flexibility of manipulating pixels on my computer in broad daylight. I am also not afraid to take as many shots as needed to get the image I want. Digital has increased my confidence as a photographer and the quality of my work.

I shoot Nikon D3, D700, D300, D2Xs and D200 bodies, always with Nikon glass. I also carry with me a Panasonic Lumix FX35 (point and shoot with Leica glass) for those unexpected photo opportunities.

My images have a photojournalistic quality to them, which I developed through the many years I contributed to regional newspapers, school publications and yearbooks. I light my subjects using Hensel lights, which I modify using Photoflex, Chimera, Hensel and California Sunbounce soft boxes, umbrellas and reflectors. The quality of these lights and modifiers is outstanding! I am equally comfortable shooting on location or in the studio, although I prefer to work with natural light.

Historically my images have focused on people, nature and travel. I am currently shooting mostly portraits, fashion, beauty and private glamour; along with adventure, trekking and assignment photography. My work has been published in trade magazines, regional and national newspapers, and various internet portals.

I am available for assignment photography including editorial, travel, nature, sports, portraits, fashion, beauty and glamour. I do not shoot TFP, but I offer competitive rates. Contact me for a quote.

I am a member of the Professional Photographers of California and I practice our professional code of ethics. For more information go to:http://www.ppconline.com/
