- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am constantly reading new books on photography style and technique to improve my own skills. I also regularly check out blogs like Photojojo and Francesco Mugnai to keep up with the new trends in photography and design.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've always been a very visual person. I was very artsy as a child, always sketching and painting. Once I got to high school, I was active in my school yearbook and newspaper, always on the sidelines taking pictures. After getting an undergrad degree that I decided not to used, I picked up where I left off from in high school, and decided to make my passion a profession.
