I’m a shooter, “Photography is my weapon of choice” (Gordon Parks). Artist, photographer, retoucher, editor, and gaffer are some of the many hats I wear. I bring exceptional visuals wherever I go. I have a can-do attitude and acute attention to detail, and I work well alone or with multidisciplinary team members.
