  • Collaborate with various personalities and work styles. The comfort level I feel with most humans is a main reason for my success. I never have to be talked in to listening to someone's opinion or ideas.
  • Produce and deliver photo shoots with "hard to shoot" talent or shooting parameters. HBO told me that a particular celebrity would maybe stay for 20 minutes and might leave unexpected and rudely. He stayed for over an hour and was delightful. I won over Kanye West. I was invited back by Christina Aguilera to her house for private photos, twice. I can shoot 50 swimsuits in 1 day on location (ecomm is easier than location).
  • Worked closely with clients throughout the duration of each project from concept through completion.

Why should you hire me?

People want to work with me. I assume that's because I like most people, honor everyone's voice and talent, and work within budget and on time. Nothing is more important in marketing these days than offering imagery that will connect on a deeper level with the buyer/audience. That happens when we have human connection and communication in all stages of the marketing creation.
