PHOTOGRAPHY TESTIMONIALS

"It's with great pleasure that I recommend Bruce William-Burden's work as a photographer at Critical Images Photography.  He recently captured a civil-military operation on camera and the quality of his work was phenomenal.  He had a way of capturing the essence of the exercise, the people, and the moment. He is a quality person producing quality results."

On July, 10th, 2014 I had the distinct pleasure of working alongside of Bruce during our Tri-Ace Disaster exercise here at Seattle/Tacoma Airport. The drill involved hundreds of first responders, 310 actors playing the role of the Aircraft crash victims (7 of which were amputees) and the largest air branch ever assembled in this area, which included rotary wing air assets from the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy, Washington State Air National Guard, Snohomish County Sheriff’s Department, King County Sheriff’s Department and Airlift NW.

Typically the Tri-Ace Drill (Tri-annual Aircraft Collision Exercise) has approximately 120-130 victims; the FAA standard is 100 victims as per the FAA. We decided to boost that number up to 300-400 victims and add in the complexity of an Air Branch involving all of the agencies listed above.

Due to the magnitude of the drill we needed someone with the experience to document the event for future use for not only the after action report but for also the out briefings with various agencies associated with the drill.

Planning this drill took the core team approx. 9 months, which involved weekly meetings to ensure that all the points of interest were met and the photo documentation was part of those meetings. It had to be someone that had the experience to capture all of the finer points of the Exercise and that it made sense to the viewer. Bruce did just that and understood exactly what we needed and delivered in fine fashion.

We here at the Port of Seattle were extremely pleased with the work Mr. Williams-Burden did for our organization, his attention to detail helped document a historic event here at the Port and it will always be greatly appreciated.
