All About B

All I can ever remember wanting to do is make pictures. My father, Irv Docktor, was an artist/illustrator and he used photography to inspire his work. My brothers and I were often his models and the photos he took of us are filled with precious memories.

The power of photographs as emotional touchstones is what I love about this medium. My pictures let you relive the energy and emotion, the big events and small wonders, the amazing moments and minor miracles that make up your life. I don't just make your pictures, I tell your story.

I know how close to get, when to snap, and when to wait and wait and wait until it's there. I connect with my clients personally so when it's time to start shooting I blend in, I become part of the landscape. There is an easy, natural quality to my work that allows what's special about you and your life to shine through.

I've been told to specialize more, but I love shooting all facets of life. The people, places, animals, and events you want to hold onto. There's an urgency and importance in doing that. Children grow up, landscapes change, celebrations come to a close…but the pictures will last forever.
