About My Process
Every project, no matter how big or small, receives my utmost attention. I work closely with creative directors and designers, planning extensively prior to shooting to ensure there are no surprises on shoot day. This detailed preparation allows us to focus on capturing the perfect shots.
I always leave room for the natural spontaneity that inevitably occurs during a shoot. Often, the best photos come from those unplanned, spontaneous moments.
My work as a film producer has equipped me with strong skills in planning and project management, which translates seamlessly into my photography projects. I am flexible in my approach, comfortable taking full control of a shoot or ceding some of the decision-making to the client, depending on their preferences. This flexibility ensures that each project is tailored to meet the unique vision and needs of my clients.
