Cathy has been taking photos underwater since 1965. She is a pioneer of photo techniques and is in six SCUBA halls of Fame and the Explorers’ Club. Her work has been published in hundreds of magazines, including diving titles, travel magazines, newspapers, and scientific journals and books. She photographed J.V. Hart underwater for her chapter in a book on environmental portraiture by Jim Cornfield. She is also a marine biologist with a keen eye for animal identification and behavior. Her long history with cameras and diversity makes her proficient with the latest models.
Her commercial clients have included Kodak, Nikon, USVI, the cruise industry, Atlantis Submarine and Intuos TV. She has worked with ad directors to ensure photographs that the client wants, while using her own skills to enhance the image to better fit their needs.
Cathy is also available to travel to other locations, except to dive under the polar ice.
