DINA DOUGLASS - ANDRENA PHOTOGRAPHY

EVENT PHOTOGRAPHER SERVING LOS ANGELES, PALM SPRINGS, ORANGE COUNTY and DESTINATIONS AROUND THE WORLD

One of the Top 10 Event and Wedding Photographers in the World - American Photo Magazine

You could say I grew up in the darkroom because I actually did. After buying my first camera (a Canon AE-1), I spent most of my teens photographing anything that moved, then hand-processing my film and making my own prints. Things have changed a lot since then, and I am no longer surrounded by enlargers nor bathed in red light as I work on images. But I still get excited by each and every moment I capture, and I still love the idea of making each image the best that it can be.

Since starting my photography studio, I've shot jobs in 11 countries and had my images published all over the world. American Photo Magazine included me on its list of Top 10 Event Photographers in the World, and I've spoken at photography conferences in Beijing, Moscow, New York, Las Vegas, New Orleans and numerous other cities. I am a five-time judge at the Wedding & Portrait International (WPPI) Annual Print Competition. And I've even been featured on the cover of Popular Photography Magazine.

Still, nothing makes me happier than creating images that make people happy.

If you've read this far and you enjoy my work, I truly hope to have the chance to work with you.
