Introduction: I have substantial experience and skill in the art and science of photography and photo editing with over 15 years freelance experience in commercial product photography for print and web advertising with various business clients. I also have extensive experience in set design, camera and lighting set up both in studio and on location.
I have a proven record of producing engaging imagery. I won Honorable Mention in an annual student showcase during my training at Southwest School of Art & Craft in Texas. My work was included in a group photographic art show, Blink, displayed in Chicago. Most recently I received 1st and 2nd place awards at a regional juried exhibition for my photo collage work and a computer animation project.
As a photographer, I’ve had great opportunities.
I’ve photographed many talented and aspiring dancers, musicians and actors. I’ve taken pictures of beautiful weddings and memorable events. I’ve worked with architects, artists and art directors. My career has included stints as a commercial photographer in Chicago and as a freelance photo documentarian traveling with civil rights activists in Texas, Mexico and Central America.
I’m fascinated with how art and design are used in everyday culture to communicate ideas. Now I'm looking for ways to incorporate all aspects of imaging and digital content creation into new ways of creating compelling images.
