MEET OUR LEADERS
Georgienne Bradley lives in Santa Monica, California. She owns and operates a production company and image stock house, founded the American Society of Media Photographers' Underwater Specialty group(which she chaired for six years), and is currently the chairperson for the Nature Photographers of America Specialty group. Having logged thousands of dives, Georgienne's passion is the ocean. She believes the Imaging Foundation will bridge the gap between the need for quality images and the work being done by other non profit educational and environmental organizations. Georgienne uses the images produced by the Imaging Foundation to develop innovative, engaging, and educational productions. George's favorite quote is borrowed from Margaret Mead who said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
Jay Ireland is a partner in Bradley Ireland Productions, one of the largest film and video underwater stock house agencies in the world. With over 30 years of experience as both a photographer and a diver, Jay Ireland has captured extraordinary images both above and below the water in some of the most exotic places in the world including Madagascar, Borneo, Egypt, and Fiji. His combined understanding of diving, marine wildlife, and the unique aspects of shooting underwater ensures he captures striking images. Jay has been featured in both National Geographic and the Wall Street Journal as the co-founder of Cayman Islands Stingray City. His quest for the perfect stingray image created what is now one of today's most frequently photographed underwater attractions in the world. Jay is also known for his almost unparalleled familiarity of Cocos Island, the largest uninhabited island in the world, and he has logged over 3,000 dives in the waters around the island. Using his images to stand witness, Jay successfully partnered with the United Nations in making Cocos Island a United Nations World Heritage Site. Other environmental partnerships include Conservation International and the NRDC.
