Our Favorite Executive Director Annmarie Hamilton

All my life, I have been surrounded by professional photographers and have developed certain expectations regarding quality of work.  More times than not, I have been a little disappointed by what I have received from professionals paid to cover weddings, sporting events, and formal gatherings.​​​​​​​

What a pleasant surprise it was to see what Life to Lens has to offer.  John Dixon’s eye and attention to detail has been impressive, without fail.  He has been capturing arts council celebrations for several years and has a way of “hiding in plain sight” while snapping hundreds of images.  He makes mundane conferences and meetings look lively and classy, and he flawlessly captures the elegance of formal occasions.  Always pleasant, enthusiastic, and supportive, John and his staff are a joy to work with.  They keep an eye on trends and technology and have treated our events as if they were their own.  If John is working the camera, you are sure to have the best memories – ever.


John Dixon I have a photography business, worked in cycling industry, shoot some Freelance Photography for a local paper. I photograph weddings, architecture, landscapes, water scenes, nature, portraits, an occasional fashion show and exhibit a few pieces in a gallery exhibit from time to time. I have three beautiful daughters and rather enjoy being a dad. I’ve been involved in photography for 30 years or more, worked in camera shops, published in both newspapers and magazines. My work has been displayed in shows, ads, hung in office buildings, including several pieces displayed at the House of Delegates in Annapolis. I’m an avid cyclist, road, mountain, some cyclocross, a much younger me some BMX. I worked in the Cycling industry for 20 years or more, as a mechanic at local bike shops, some buying, bike fit, and managerial positions. Photographers Vision: I believe every photo either has or portrays a personality, mood, or an emotion to be discovered. The image should stir some emotion through detail, complexity, simplicity, or possibly desire. Every individual will view my work and react to it differently. Whatever viewing brings about, just be willing to take the time to look. John Dixon Photography, LLC - Owner/Operator
