Linda Devenow

Moving Toward the Expressive

Linda Devenow was born in Detroit, Michigan and fell in love with the look and feel of the forests and lakes of the upper part of the Lower Peninsula. She moved to Los Angeles after college graduation and started her career in the Entertainment Industry.

Her passion for photography lead to her being hired as the exclusive photographer for all Walt Disney TV Animation employee events.  From there she expanded her business to include family portraiture and professional head shots.

She moved to Eugene, Oregon in 2002, which was reminiscent of the spiritually of Michigan’s terrain.

Her portfolio covers landscape, portraiture, and nature images. In 2018, she started experimenting with black and white infrared photography and became obsessed with capturing the scene with her infrared converted digital camera. Initially, she worked at refining technical skills, and post-processing effects.  Her latest focus is catching the emotion of the scene, and eliciting color from the infrared images.
