 Endicott obtains top honour
By Business News Staff
A local editor and photographer has
become a member of an elite group.
Christine Endicott has achieved Licentiate
Professional Photographer of Ontario (LPPO) status.
Endicott is a professional editor and photographer
serving Brockville,
Prescott
and Eastern Ontario;
her photography business is called Portraits by
Christine Endicott. In order to qualify for LPPO
status, she submitted for judging 10 photographic
portraits. Some of those portraits were created using
studio lights on location; others were taken outdoors
using natural light. The judges were five Master
Photographers from Toronto and Ottawa.
Endicott said she was surprised and thrilled to
achieve the special status on her first attempt. In
addition to studying portrait photography with the
Professional Photographers of America in Atlanta,
she has received support and guidance from Master
Photographer Robin Spencer of Ottawa.
Endicott has a Bachelor of Journalism from Carleton
University and has also studied marketing at Queen's
University.
As a professional working in a small town, Endicott
does “a little bit of everything.” Her portrait
clients include local families, schools, dancers,
sports teams and others. The satisfaction that comes
from creating something people will cherish for
generations is “a special feeling,” according to
Endicott.
“You're with people at the happiest moments of their
lives,” she said.
Endicott also edits publications and writes news
releases for commercial clients.
An experienced journalist, she is former editor of The
Brockville Recorder and Times, The Prescott Journal
and The Leeds and Grenville Business News and
founding publisher of The Mural.
Her writing and photographs have also been
published in The Toronto Star, The Ottawa Citizen,
enRoute magazine, The London Free Press, The
Kingston Whig-Standard and other newspapers and
magazines, and her travel stories from a
five-continent bicycle tour have been read on CBC
Radio.
