Hi, I am Catherine. I am a blind photographer. I use adaptive technology to allow me to see to take amazing photos. I'm currently in college for a commercial photography degree and absolutely enjoying taking photos again after I lost most of my vision.

An incredible night with the Mount Hood Community College Women’s Volleyball Team on December 30, 2024. From powerful serves to tough rallies and a well-deserved celebration, these moments capture the spirit, teamwork, and heart of the game.#BlindPhotographer #CanonR5 #PDXBlindPhotos #VolleyballLife

Clean and timeless vibes with Jaden in studio lighting. Simple white tee, bold chain, and natural confidence.

This little one knows how to steal the spotlight—shiny coat, soulful eyes, and all the attitude packed into one frame. #BlindPhotographer #CanonR5 #DogsOfBlueSky

A close-up photo of a small black dog lying on a carpet. The dog has shiny fur, expressive eyes, and is looking directly into the camera with its ears perked slightly to the sides. The background is softly blurred, keeping focus on the dog’s face and front paws.

The glow of candlelight, tarot cards, and crystals set the scene for a moment of reflection and energy. Captured in rich detail with intention.

A single flame burning inside a weathered glass jar—its glow pushing back against the darkness. Sometimes the simplest light can feel like the strongest reminder of warmth and resilience. 🔥✨

finally achieved the look I was after.

The end result was worth every bit of effort: a powerful shot of Ken charging forward with his video camera, as if he were running straight into the action. What we created felt less like a photo shoot and more like a cinematic moment frozen in time.

It wasn’t the safest setup. I had my assistant carefully guide me, letting me know when it was clear to test fire the lights over and over until we had the perfect angle. I even counted each of my steps so I wouldn’t risk falling during the process. After all of that precision and patience, we………

a dramatic contrast.

The real star of the scene was the old train track bridge. Its weathered steel, covered in layers of graffiti, had a gritty character that begged to be photographed. But to make it come alive, I needed to create my own artificial sunlight. That’s where the strobes came in……….

This past week, I had one of the most exciting and challenging photo shoots I’ve done in a while. We set up strobe lights on the underside of two bridges, right in the shaded area where daylight barely reached. Behind the last bridge, you could still see sunlight pouring through, which created……..

Photo of an old train track bridge, covered in graffiti with Ken in the middle of the roadway, running down the yellow stripe of the road that goes directly underneath the bridge illuminated by an artificial ray of sunlight that we created where he is directly in the center of he is running with a digital video camera, which is supposed to look like he is running towards a new story that is happening in the moment.

This photo of Ken came from an experiment of playing with different color gels, and ended up with a pretty powerful photo. This photo was taken on 12-23-2024.

This photo of Ken wearing a dark hoodie And baseball cap turned backwards against a black background. There is a red light in a blue light illuminating him. The blue light is on his right side and the red light is on the left side. This is creating a very powerful image showing him in a very dramatic way.

My friend and classmate named Wes was kind enough to pose for me for a homework assignment. These photos were taken if I remember correctly back in February

A male model facing the camera wearing a purple and yellow baseball cap. Left hand is placed on his neck with a thumb on his jawline. Right hand is placed under his left arm along his rib cage. Wearing a gray shirt. He is staring directly into the camera with an intense look. This photo was taken by Catherine Green. Owner of PDX Blind Photos. Catherine is a blind photographer.

This is a black-and-white photo of a man wearing a baseball cap backwards with his head resting on his left hand forming a fist where his chin is resting upon his knuckles. The aspect ratio is roughly 16 x 9 and he is on the far left side of the image, giving away for plenty opportunity to insert text on the right side for advertisement purposes.

This was one of the first photos that I took with my Canon R7. Not too bad for being a photographer who is legally blind.
