Specializing in product styling, and on set art direction, I excel in transforming concepts into captivating visual narratives. Whether it's bed styling, tabletop arrangements, or set design, I offer a unique blend of creativity and strategic insight. With a career spanning decades in commercial photography, I bring a wealth of experience and creativity to every project.
My career as a visual storyteller began after high school when I joined a creative team of visual merchandisers, overseeing store displays and windows for renowned brands. This background instilled in me a keen eye for detail and a knack for creating captivating visual narratives. After graduating with honors from The Fashion Institute of Technology I dived into the world of commercial photography as an assistant shooter.
Equipped with a robust technical knowledge of camera techniques, lighting, and tools like Capture One and Photoshop, and driven by a profound appreciation for the art of presentation, I ensure a seamless workflow from concept to execution. As a hands-on team player, I'm no stranger to rolling up my sleeves, whether it’s building sets, moving furniture, or providing hands-on guidance to assistants.
For me, a successful shoot hinges on a happy, cohesive team working towards a common goal. With a passion for mentoring and fostering a collaborative environment, I guarantee a smooth production process that yields exceptional results, every time.
I divide time between the NY Metropolitan area and Upstate NY.
