Biographies

 
 

Jeff P. Henderson is an accomplished photographer based in Northern California.  He specializes in scenic, landscape, seascape, and floral photography.  Jeff's interest in photography began to develop at a young age.  Inspired and mentored by his father and grandfather, both experienced  photographers, Jeff began taking photographs as soon as he was old enough to hold a camera.  Photographers have been prevalent in Jeff’s family for many generations, with family photo archives dating back to the late 1800’s.

Jeff has been actively involved in photography his entire life.  Starting out as a young boy, Jeff shot primarily 35mm black and white film, which he developed and printed using his father’s darkroom equipment.  Later in high school Jeff continued his use of black and white, utilizing the school’s dark room, and also began to shoot and process his own 35mm color transparency film.

A Mechanical Engineer, Jeff is intrigued by the technical aspects of photography and photographic equipment.  When digital photography came into being, Jeff was naturally drawn to this new technology.  About 9 years ago Jeff began experimenting with digital photography.  As digital camera equipment became more advanced and affordable, Jeff transitioned entirely from film to digital photography.  Jeff presently shoots with Canon Digital SLR’s.  The transition from chemical dark room to the ‘digital dark room’ has opened up a world of creative possibilities not possible with conventional photographic processes.

A San Francisco Bay Area native, Jeff takes advantage of the very diverse settings to choose from when practicing his craft.  The bay area and it’s surrounding regions present a vast array of subject matter to chose from.

In Jeff’s pursuit of the perfect photograph, his method has always been to capture a scene or subject that is pleasing to the eye or that depicts a location that would be enjoyable to spend time, welcoming the viewer to walk into the image. 

 

Sally Landerville first studied photography while working on her art degree at California State University, Long Beach. She quickly decided that this was her preferred creative outlet and began to experiment with her first 35mm camera, a Pentax, photographing her surroundings at every opportunity. 

Having grown up in a family of  photographers where slide shows of recent travels were a ritual at family gatherings, the camera was nothing new.  Sally got her first camera at age 7 and began to snap black and whites of family outings and vacations, along with the rest of her family members. However, it wasn’t until college that she began to appreciate photography as an art form.   

Despite her fondness for photography and the arts, Sally’s entrepreneurial drive led her career toward the business world. After completing a BA in art/design with a minor in marketing, she went on to earn an MBA at Pepperdine University. Though she continued to photograph her travels, continually seeking interesting compositions to feed her growing passion for photography, her career headed toward the corporate realm.  Photography remained a pastime activity. After college, she went on to hold a variety of sales and marketing positions, ultimately becoming a marketing communications executive for a national securities brokerage.  

Over the years, hundreds of photos began to accumulate and a fervent desire to share her photographs beyond her family and friends continued to nag at her.  After almost 15 years in the corporate world, Sally became a consultant, downsized her workload and began to focus more on her photography.  The digital camera was of significant interest to her due to its flexibility and efficiency, and quickly became her camera of choice.  Eager to begin sharing her view of the world, she joined her brother Jeff, who has a similar passion, and founded Captured Imagery.  

Sally continues to work part-time as a marketing communications consultant and freelance writer.  She is a member and newsletter/website editor of the American Business Women’s Association, and a member of the Seaside Elementary PTA.  She lives with her husband and two young children (who she photographs incessantly) in southern California.
