I studied photography in college and I interned with a local freelance editorial and commercial photographer in St. Louis. Through working with this photographer I learned how to work with people and light for people and products. After college I worked and still work sometimes with a few commercial and advertising photographers as a digital tech and assistant. Also at the same time I started working for the local alt-weekly newspaper. Shooting assignments and learning from experienced photographers I have been able to really hone my skills as a photographer and as a person too.
