About the Author
Kirk Voclain, Photographer, Author & Novelist
The idea for Double Exposure first struck me over 35 years ago, during an unforgettable moment with airport security. They pulled me aside at an airport because they thought my tripod was a gun. The absurdity of the situation sparked a thought: what if a photographer could use their gear as a cover for something far more dangerous? That seed of an idea grew and evolved over the decades as I traveled and worked as a portrait photographer.
Throughout my 40+ years in the photography industry, I’ve found myself in countless situations where being “the photographer” granted me access to places most people could only dream of entering. Over and over again, I’d hear the same thing: “This area is secure, sir.” But as soon as I replied, “I’m the photographer,” the response would shift instantly: “Oh, you’re the photographer? Come on in!”
For years, this story lived only in my imagination, being written and rewritten in the quiet moments between photoshoots or while traveling. But now, I’ve finally put pen to paper to bring this story to life. Double Exposure is the culmination of decades of inspiration, blending my love for photography with the intrigue and suspense of a world where nothing is as it seems.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I enjoyed crafting it.
I got to tell you, Kirk…this novel is really good. It’s tight, believable and very well written
