A native Washingtonian, Linda Spillers turned a long career in nursing, into a career as an accomplished photojournalist for the past 20 years. While working on studio art classes for a Masters Degree, that included photography, art and journalism were brought together for a career meant to be.
A niche was found in photographing sports for the next 5 years, in particular professional hockey that generated a project, Tattoos in the NHL when tattoos were just becoming noticed on athletes. The project was published in Inside Sports with photos also going to Hockey Digest.

Working during Bloomberg News' inaugural years covering business led to photographing their first ever coverage of a Republican Convention in 2000.

With a primary focus on editorial news photography, Linda's move to include theatre arts and dining most recently led to assignments featured in The New York Times, Gourmet Magazine, Joan Nathan's new cookbook " The New American Cooking. " Theatre Arts, with a focus on dance, has been with the New York Times. An ongoing contract with the The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has included perfoming arts and major events.
