In My Own Words

From inception to delivery, I am capable of handling every facet of a photo shoot from pitches to post-production. The last 12 years as a lifestyle and portrait photographer has taught me how to communicate with clients to ensure an upbeat and memorable experience while creating impactful content to compliment any brand. Studio managing and producing has taught me the back end of running a business, the ins and outs of shoots and all of the archiving and retouching requirements for exceptional images and fast turnaround times. Being on-location as a Digital Image Technician, Producer, Art Director and Photographer has taught me on-set etiquette, expectations and the work ethic necessary for fast paced, big budget productions on a tight schedule. The New York School of Visual Arts has trained me in international production, budgeting, scheduling and post-production as well as refining my retouching skills and has let me capture environmental portraits all over the world.
