School Picture, 1979

This photograph was taken when Bird was five years old, growing up in Los Angeles. It was in her hometown that she first started taking pictures, of actor friends. "I took glass-blowing and photography," Bird says. "I was better at glass-blowing."

Bird in the Pool, 1994

Bird swam competitively in high school and in college. Though she no longer competes, Bird can often be found swimming on the job, particularly when she is shooting in St. Barts, one of her favorite places. Bird takes underwater cameras into the sea, swims to the surrounding islands, and shoots the boat from the water.

St. Barts, 2010

On a shoot in St. Barts, the model Daria Werbowy, a frequent subject and muse of Bird's, grabbed one of Bird's cameras and turned it on the photographer. Bird, in turn, shot back. The picture captures their great friendship, evident in so many of Bird's own photographs of Werbowy.
