The Value
Taking the approach of understanding what you want and need and working toward the end result is a step-by-step process that will achieve your goals. It's not a cookie-cutter, formula-based template. Having a diverse experience working with clientele from all walks of life and different backgrounds, I understand that building the shot is collaborative, not directive. When we follow that approach, we're going to have a different look and feel relative to what you see elsewhere- it's going to be your concept, and together we shape the look. We will identify why you're reaching out, solving the what and how in the process. Working in tandem, we will create a look and result you will have a direct hand in designing... be it an individual or family session, a corporate head shot, fashion look for your portfolio or even social media content that will help your own clients choose your services.
About
Raised by an artist, I was taught the importance of composition, lighting, and meaningful content from an early age. A student of artistic expression of the human spirit and figure, I hone my eye and style toward the human element, while guiding these skills toward portraiture and capturing the artistic expression all of us carries within. Creating in many types of settings - urban to rural, public to intimate - it’s my goal to build a scene that will evoke thoughts and send a message for the viewer. “Photography is a medium that allows us to work together in the planning stages and real time in order to capture a distinct moment in time. I want it to be timeless yet reflective of the moment and the point of life you’re living.”
Philosophy
An expanding client base centered around portrait, family, fashion, modeling, lifestyle / environmental portfolio capturing thoughtful, candid and creatively honest moments with an emphasis on telling the story behind my subjects. An emphasis is placed on mastering light and shadow to set the tone across projects. The backdrop of the city for on-location shoots; the neighborhoods and landmarks help us frame the talent and give a vibe as we create. The suburban landscape is also valued for style and add substance to a subject’s presence. Color and black and white styles can both be used to create a portfolio or project depending on mood, direction and the goals of a subject. Using natural light as a base or employing strobe lighting can help accentuate a scene... or as needed given the setting of the shoot.
