Some
people are born with a camera in their hand. I wasn't, and
only became a serious photographer in my thirties. By then
my professional career was well established requiring me to
travel extensively to new and interesting places and
photography just seemed to fit.
Taking a camera along made a lot of sense, allowing me to
document my travels, and as a business tool it helped me win
new clients. At that time, my camera, a Canon SLR was a
curiously interesting new toy to play with. Then somewhere
along the way, the camera bug really hit, and I quickly fell
in love with the excitement that happens when you see
something truly remarkable. I could photograph the scene and
share the experience with others.
The transitioned to Digital occurred as soon as the new
technology became available, and a whole new world opened up
for me. Instant photographic gratification was exciting and
the digital camera travelled with me everywhere I went.
Hiking was a passion at the time, and soon my hikes gave way
to hiking/photographic expeditions.
My camera gear is exclusively CANON equipment, with the
Canon 1D Mark III as my main body, and a Canon 5D as backup.
Accessories include a wide selection of L series Glass, the
largest of which is a 600mm ISL 4.0 lens that is used
primarily for wildlife. A Gitzo tripod and Wimberley head
complete the list of major equipment. On long field trips,
equipment is packed onto a custom two wheeled cart that
allows me to easily transport a lot of weight over long
distances that might otherwise prove impossible.
While my interests are essentially general including People
and places, I do have a passion for Nature subjects. Living
in Beautiful British Columbia Canada, with an abundance of
wildlife, how could one not? I can leave my home and
immediately see Bald Eagles, and a huge selection of birds
that continually challenge my skills. What a wonderful place
to live.
My Camera club is the Richmond Photo Club. Check them out at

I am also a proud member of CAPA, the Canadian Association
for Photographic Art,
Canada
's National body for photographers. Check out our website at

Val
Davison,
FCAPA (CAPA Past- President)
Val Davison
is best known as an interpretive photographer.
She enjoys a spontaneous approach to photography and
creating distinctive images. Val has given
presentations and workshops at the Canadian Camera
Conference as well as photographic conferences and seminars
in
Canada
and the
United States
. She teaches photography courses in
British Columbia
.
This past autumn Val presented “The Artist Behind the
Viewfinder: Exploring Personal Style” at CCC 2005 in
Regina
,
Saskatchewan
.
Val is an active volunteer in the Canadian Association for
Photographer Art and serves as National President on the
Board of Directors. Val’s unique photographic style
has been influenced by her career in counseling therapy and
an interest in the relationships between people and their
community.
Advocating
a distinctive approach to photographic style, her experience
with wide-angle lenses and the use of juxtaposition of
subjects combine with saturated colours to create bold
images. A desire for spontaneity brings
a hint of real life into her photographs. Unusual
framing and angles add mood to ordinary scenes.
Val prefers photographic prints. She uses 35 mm
equipment and saturated slide films but has discovered the
benefits of digital and her newer work takes advantage of
the benefits of digital processing.
Val resides on the Pacific Coast of Canada in
South Surrey
, B.C. overlooking the Canada-United States border.
She has been active in photography since 1990. |
