Ginny Dixon has spent the last 20 years working as a photojournalist
for national magazines and newspapers. She is a graduate
of California State University at Long Beach where she
earned a bachelors degree in photojournalism. Her first
job was with the Los Angeles Times, where she had the extraordinary
privilege of being a member of two staffs who captured
the Pulitzer Prize; once for coverage of the Los Angeles
riots after the Rodney King Trial and once for the 6.1
Northridge earthquake.
In 1996 she returned to her home state of Florida where
she opened her own photography business.
Her work since then has covered many subjects all of which
share common elements of reaction, resonance and reflection.
Her recent work has concentrated on inspirational subjects
such as professional athletes, breathtaking destinations,
and her images of the PGA and LPGA won her the International
Network of Golf Photographer of the Year in 1999.
Ginny refuses to be categorized as a specialist on any
one subject (even if other people do) and is happiest when
a week's work includes photojournalism, commercial photography
balanced with left of center art house photography.
She teaches photography at Miami Ad School on South Beach.
In her spare time Ginny likes killing orchids in her native
Florida, barbecuing, painting really badly and sculpting
rather well.
She also raises funds for the research and development
of an early detection test for ovarian cancer, of which
she is a survivor.
She is proud to be a coal miner's granddaughter and loves
to tell embellished stories about her southern grandmother,
Mamie Winchester. But pictures speak louder than words--so
please browse through some of her work.
