Hello, I'm Jill Bazeley. I live near Melbourne, Florida, with my husband Basil, our three boys, and our dog. My goal as a photographer is to capture overlooked moments of art, humor, beauty, and dignity. I also like to recognize the extraordinary achievements of high school athletes, especially those who have poor access to quality photography.

While many of my photos are available for sale, either in print form or as licensed images, most photographic services I provide are donations to schools and local non-profit groups. High school and collegiate athletes are always able to download web-quality images completely free of charge. I am not available for private portrait, event, or product photography.

In a previous incarnation, I was a television news anchor at stations in Orlando, Albuquerque, and Tucson. I still accept occasional voice talent assignments. I grew up in San Diego and graduated from La Jolla High School and the University of California, San Diego.

I shoot with a Nikon D300 and a Nikon D200 and process with Photoshop CS2 and/or Paint Shop Pro X on PCs running Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. The lenses I use most often are:

Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G
Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G
Nikon 50mm f/1.4D
Nikon 50mm f/1.8D
Nikon 35-70mm f/2.8D
Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro EX DG
Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G
Nikon 1.4X teleconverter
Nikon 85mm f/1.4D IF

My images are stored on two internal hard drives and are backed up on two separate terabyte external drives.

My guest book is below and comments are always welcome. Thanks for visiting!
