Laurie Klein and Shelley Vandegrift

The Invisible Story Team

Renowned photographer and educator Laurie Klein is regarded as one of the most influential infrared photographers in the world. Laurie holds a BFA from Rochester Institute of Technology, an MFA from Ohio University, and was a student of Ansel Adams. She is the author of Infrared Photography: Digital Techniques for Artistic Images, Infrared Photography: Artistic Techniques for Brilliant Images and Photographing the Female Form with Digital Infrared, all published by Amherst Media, as well as Hand Coloring Black and White Photography, published by Quarry Publishers. Laurie teaches regularly at Santa Fe Photographic Workshops, Maine Media, Peter’s Valley Center, numerous other schools and venues, and in her own boutique workshops.


Shelley Vandegrift considers the image her canvas and the computer her brush and palette. The technical components of the post-production process hold as much attraction for her as the creative experience behind the lens. Following a successful career working as a senior technical executive at several major corporations, Shelley now has the privilege of teaching infrared post-processing in workshops around the world. She is the co-author of Infrared Photography: Digital Techniques for Artistic Images from Amherst Publishing.
