QUALIFICATIONS
I have been working as a photo stylist for over 25 years now. I have a broad range of experience within the industry including on-model (fashion/editorial) both for print and video and product of all kinds, ranging from fine jewelry to room sets, narrative miniature environments, as well as 360 degree views for interactive media applications and video for the web. Excelling in 2-D and 3-D applications, I am adept with diverse mediums and tools, ranging from fabric, glue guns, pastels and oil paint, to sewing, photography and welding/casting. In addition to having an extensive art background, I am also a creative, resourceful problem solver with excellent organizational skills and attention to detail. I work well with others and have strong multi-tasking skills.
