"Like most photographers, I came to this business early and never left. I began taking serious pictures in high school and went on to study photojournalism in college. I got a taste of the technical side of photography while working as a commercial printer in a professional lab.

In 1985 I was hired by the Los Angeles Times. I've covered a wide range of stories throughout California and around the world. My photojournalism background has trained me to think and act fast, fast enough not to miss that fleeting look or smile you want to preserve in you memories.

Spencer is an award-winning photographer based in Santa Barbara & Venice, California.

I specialize in poetic, wonderfully quirky photographs: Portraits, Documentary Photojournalism, Travel and Corporate/Advertising photography. I enjoy seeing art in daily life.

I judge a photograph successful if it reveals the heart of the subject, creates a reaction, helps the viewer feel something, revealing a truth, sometimes, a heart-wrenching truth.

My 23-year career has allowed me to witness history, and intimate moments in regular peoples' lives. I have documented everything from the impact of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans, to Jazz clubs in Cairo.

There's no economic or sociopolitical boundary I am not interested in crossing, my images have been featured in magazines and newspapers all over the world as a Staff photographer for the Los Angeles Times between 1993-2009.

Studies included Fine Art Photography and Photojournalism at the University of Florida and Political Science and Religious Studies at Jerusalem Institute, Israel.

I started my career as a photographer at the Los Angeles Times, for about nine years, and then moved to Denver in 1992. For the past 16 years I've been a staff photographer and photo editor at the Rocky Mountain News. In the past decade, I've earned two Pulitzer Prizes with our photo staff in 2000 and 2003, and was recently voted Best Photographer at the paper by my peers (2008). But the world changed and the Rocky closed in February, 2009. Denver lost a great paper. I’ve forged ahead with my own freelance photography business, and I’m actually liking it. A lot.

I've had more than 25 years of experience shooting a wide range of subjects including, but not limited to, corporate and personal portraits, architecture and design, business, products, fashion, food, conceptual photos, restaurants, weddings, maternity, seniors, families, children and pets. The newspaper business has trained me well…

Among the gazillion lessons I've learned over the years: I approach every photo shoot as an opportunity to make it my best ever and to make the client happy. I can turn around a shoot as fast as necessary. I’m all digital (who isn’t), with all new shiny Nikons that make really big files. I can transmit, upload, download, photoshop, and make photos look really pretty.
