My (current) Equipment

I shoot almost exclusively with Canon equipment, with my 6D being the ‘workhorse’. Even though the 6D is an older model, she still performs perfectly for capturing crisp, vibrant photos in low light situations without needing to use a flash. I’m always open to renting different lenses depending on the situation/venue (and just to try out new equipment before adding them to my usual lineup).

Bodies:

—Canon 6D

—Canon EOS RP

Lenses:

—Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM

—Canon EF 24–105mm f/4L is II USM

—Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM

—Canon Mount Adapter EF-RP (allows me to use an EF lens on the RP body)

I also have a Sony DSC-RX100 VII point and shoot that I occasionally will break out and use should the need arise.

Who Am I?

My name is Jennifer Forbis. ER nurse by day, photographer by night (too corny?). Photography has always been as much of a passion to me as nursing is. My goal is to put the same amount of passion and energy into the photos I create as I do during the worst times of a person’s life. Creating photos that make others smile makes me smile, and we all need more happiness in the world. I started out in photography by shooting drag races at a local drag strip, and I think that learning how to capture the perfect launch was one of the hardest skills to learn. Since then, I have branched out into other areas of photography.

Being a nurse, especially an ER nurse also provides me with a unique mindset of being able to keep my professional face on even into my photography ventures. I am very comfortable functioning in a high-pressure, high-energy environment while maintaining a cool composure. The term ‘star-struck’ is not a part of my vocabulary, because at the end of the day, we are all human. My focus is to remain as much of a low-profile as possible, while creating stunning photos that tell your story.

What does A&D mean?

Simple. A&D stands for ‘adrenaline and dopamine’. Adrenaline is responsible for the excited, shaking feeling during skydiving, and dopamine is the feel good hormone associated with pleasure. Being in the healthcare field, I felt that A&D would be the perfect name for my photos, as I aim to create photos that are associated with excitement and pleasure.
