Christine
Reynolds
is a PPA Certified Professional Photographer, Florida Master
Photo grapher and PPA Photographer of the Year for 2006. Her images have won
local, state, regional and national awards. Her images have been published in local, national and international
publications including the prestigious PPA Loan Collection and Show Case books.
Drawn to photography from childhood it became a way to
capture and show her view of the world.
Parental influences moved her into more conventional educational
paths; first an BA from Central Washington University, followed by a
Commission in the Air Force with career related world travel and flight
training, then an MBA
from the University of South Florida and a few years in the corporate
world. Finally she listened to her heart and came back to what is
truly her gift, Photography. As Joseph Campbell would say "she found her bliss", doors began to open and life fell into place. She also has the Florida Professional Photographer's
Florida Degree of Photographic Excellence, FDPE, Florida Professional Photographers' Education Degree, FED,
and is well on her way to completing her PPA Masters degree.
Christine was recently selected as a teacher for the Digital Photo Academy
by Panasonic. She will be teaching Beginning, Intermediate and
Advanced classes in Digital Photography. For more information and

Hospital, The
Florida Orchestra and Equality Florida.

Christine’s Tools:
She was one of the first to embrace
digital technology as a way to enhance images, first with scanned film then
with digital capture. She uses the very best digital cameras which
provide detailed images that surpass Medium Format film Cameras. Better than
the Hasselblad used by Ansel Adams. With
quality images and digital finishing her images are an art form.
