Award-winning photographer Deborah Sandidge, Cofounder and Creative Director of The League of Creative Infrared Photographers, is inspired by what she sees in nature’s endless and changing opportunities. In her work, she hopes to evoke a response that allows one to have a greater appreciation for the distinctive beauty in nature – which is the motivation behind her photography.

Deb enjoys a variety of in-camera and Photoshop/Painter creative photographic techniques. She also enthusiastically shares her knowledge of digital imaging. Most recently, she has been published in "Photoshop Creative Magazine" from England, and in "Double Exposure,” the on-line magazine of photoworkshop.com. She is currently teaching digital IR photography at BetterPhoto.com and is the author of Digital Infrared Photography, published by Wiley.

Deb never leaves home without her IR-converted SLR camera.
