As an independent freelance photographer, I’ve honed a versatile skill set encompassing many facets of professional photography. In shooting profiles for the fashion and culture magazine SOMA I learned the skills necessary for preproduction and post-production, acting as my own art director and taking care of all editing and retouching. These shoots taught me problem-solving, multi-tasking, and adaptability. I have a decade of experience using Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office Suite, and Capture One. I am a detail-oriented integrative thinker, and I’m accustomed to working in fast-paced, high-pressure environments. Since then I have professionally shot fashion, product and still-life, e-com and branded lifestyle events. I also bring a level of professionalism and discretion that comes from working with high-profile clients through my experience as a teenager assisting my father on celebrity photoshoots for magazines and film posters, assisting Craig McDean in the world of fashion editorials, and decades as a collaborator with high-profile artists in the music industry as well. I am adept at maintaining discretion and confidentiality, managing complex office dynamics, and handling a range of administrative tasks with efficiency and professionalism. I also have 25 years of professional multi-faceted experience in the music business. I have composed both score and theme music for feature film, brand films, documentary, tv shows, and ads for major brands like McDonald's and Saucony. As a songwriter and producer I have co-written with artists around the world, released my own records and licensed original music to film and tv and original content streamers like Netflix. As a performer I have toured the world as a professional guitar player and singer.
