About Me
I
decided that instead of the traditional biography, I would go with
something a little more personal. I found a passion for photography
more recently in life, and through encouragement and support from
family and friends, photography is becoming a greater and greater
part of my life. A Graduate of the Manchester Metropolitan
University in the UK, I have spent most of the last decade working
with children in private New York school.
An opportunity to create and edit a year book opened a whole new
world of photography to which I am now immersed. The joy of capturing
moments in children's lives and preserving them for all to see is
a deeply rewarding process. A process that I continue to enjoy on
a daily basis.
I have studied under ledgendary wedding photographer David
Ziser and portrait lighting master Bobbi Lane.
worked with fashion photographer Bill
Bramswig and New York Wedding
guru Maryola Dannebaum.
I am a member of the National Association of Photoshop Proffesionals
(NAPP).
I consider my style candid.
I strive to capture a story in every image. I prefer a emotional
look to my photography as you will see from the images on the website.
I am a firm believer in using all the tools available to create
the perfect image. I will post process most images to further enhance
the story I'm trying to tell. I am shooting 100% Digital, and
I regularly attend lectures and courses to keep up on the latest
developments and techniques in my field. I use my background in
web & graphic design to make your viewing experience seamless.
Gear
I use ONLY Professional Grade Equipment, and carry backup equipment
for everything that I use on every shoot.
