Our Team


Paul Dingman
Paul has spent the last 32 years mastering the manipulation and control of light. Light is his passion. He has always been a photographer and a seeker and a tourist of life. He is constantly searching for a new perspective, a different frame of reference, an opportunity to discover the world in a new and exciting way. At heart, he has a strong appreciation for that which is honest, excellent, and beautifully designed. Photography is more than his profession - it is his calling. When not behind the camera, Paul enjoys camping, bicycling, sailing, snow skiing, cooking.

Li is very personable, friendly, and highly organized. She has a degree in chemistry. She speaks English fluently. She has many close friends; some that go back to her days in elementary school. Li loves to interact with people in business and in life. She has an amazing ability to open doors. We have learned that when a gatekeeper says “No” it just means that Li has not talked to the right person. Give her a little time, she will make the “right person” her new friend, and the doors will open wide. She is an expert Chinese Chef. Chinese New Year around her table is a feast you will not soon forget.

Catherine is the lead assistant on our location team. She has a keen eye for design, and she often adds a feminine touch to the styling of our photos. She possesses a mutitude of talents, and she can keep track of a dozen things at the some time. She always knows where everything is, including anything in our inventory of 500 lights. In her spare time, she likes to shoot photos of her toy poodles dressed up like movie stars for greetings cards.
