Was liebst du an deinem Job?

I love that my job allows me to constantly meet new people, and with this, allows me to constantly tell new stories. Photography has the ability to draw connections between people with just one eye catching image. I've had the opportunity to work with such a large range of clients in the past 6 years, and together we've created work that has reached audiences all over the world. It's a humbling experience to do what you love as a career.

Welche Shootings hast du schon gemacht und wie hast du sie besonders gemacht?

I've photographed everything from weddings to fashion look books, live concerts to corporate conferences, and everything in between. I'm always in tune with my clients right from the first stages of planning a shoot. I'm a listener, and it's my main goal to take the client's wants and needs and turn those into unique images. To give a specific example - I worked with Spotify on a week long project in Austin, TX for their SXSW festival experience. This was a large scale production which included two live performance stages, and an interactive house designed by Spotify in collaboration with a number of brands. We worked side by side to turn around photos in real time for social media for both their own brand as well as their partners at the house (playstation, google chrome cast, sci-fi channel, and large range of food and beverage brands). The goal was to represent these brands place at the festival, and we did so with a combination of natural product placement, and candid portraiture. It was important to the client not to make sterile or staged images. While it was challenging to work with real concert going fans and to create images on the run for social media, we ended creating dozens of effective photos for social media posts over the week, while still capturing the essence of the performances and festival.

Erhaltene Preise, Ehrungen und Anerkennungen

I received many recognitions for my work at Columbia College, and my senior thesis project was purchased by the college. I worked with a small event photography team (3 of us) that won a number of awards for best event photography in Chicago.
