Born in Washington, D.C., Stirling Elmendorf has spent nearly half his life overseas. Growing up with a professional photographer mom was a source of influence and inspiration.

Travel has taken Stirling to incredibly populous and equally remote locations on the planet. As a self-taught photographer with a sharp eye fixed on the pulse of composition and a healthy obsession with technical perfection, the range of subject matter is no way limited by any preconceived notions of "what can and can't be shot..."

His clientele is as diverse as his body of work. Many influential organizations and individuals enjoy a working relationship with this conscientious, creative and diplomatic photographer.

Regardless of where a project is destined to end up, Stirling infuses his images with dynamism, creativity and power.
