about vancity visuals - kathleen hinkel photography
Vancity Visuals is owned by Vancouver photographer Kathleen Hinkel... who is actually me... which is why I will continue writing this bio in the 1st person, rather than 3rd. I offer high-quality photography and videography services to meet my client's editorial, commercial and personal needs. Photography services are available at any time, in any location.... Vancouver, Chicago and beyond.
I have been a working photojournalist since graduating from the Brooks Institute of Photography with a degree in visual journalism in 2004. Before relocating to Vancouver, I was based in Melbourne, Florida where I worked as a staff photographer for the Gannett company newspaper Florida Today. As a staff photojournalist I covered everything from regional breaking news and the NASA shuttle program, to professional sports such as the NFL, NBA and MLB. In 2007 I relocated from Florida to Vancouver, British Columbia where I regularly shoot editorial travel and sports photography assignments while also offering food photography and documentary-style wedding photography services. My work has been published in magazines and newspapers across North America, including USA Today, Sports Illustrated and B.C.'s own British Columbia Magazine.
I am infinitely appreciative of the people who have shared their lives and faces with me and my cameras. To see recent work... wander on over to our blog!
