My Life in Pictures
I am a seasoned photographer, ignited by an enduring passion that traces its roots back to my high school days. My artistic odyssey commenced in the dim glow of the darkroom, where I painstakingly crafted black and white prints by hand, laying the cornerstone of my craft. With a graduation in 2005, I further honed my expertise through years of dedicated photography study, culminating in my graduation from the Hallmark Institute of Photography in 2007.
Upon my arrival in the vibrant landscape of New York City, I immersed myself in the industry, freelancing at esteemed studios like Drive in Studios before securing a full-time role at Hudson Studios in Chelsea. Here, serendipity led me to my mentor, Mariano Vivanco. Under his expert guidance, we collaborated on prestigious projects for Vogue, iconic brands like Dolce & Gabbana, and even had the honor of working with the acclaimed artist Rihanna. Mariano's mentorship propelled me into a global expedition spanning 13 countries and filling three passports over three enriching years. Following this transformative period, I made my way to London, continuing to refine my skills under Mariano's influential tutelage.
Upon my return to the United States, I found a new home in Los Angeles, seamlessly transitioning into a pivotal role at BEBE.com. Here, I assumed leadership of their entire e-commerce department, meticulously steering photography, commerce, and post-production efforts to ensure the brand's visual brilliance. My journey took a multifaceted turn, embracing freelance ventures with esteemed brands like Torrid, Smrtfit, White Orange, and Milk & Honey Music. Notably, I freelanced alongside the legendary fashion photographer Peter Lindburg, collaborating on his final productions in LA for several years, including the memorable "A Star Is Born" worldwide advertising campaign, marking Bradley Cooper's directorial debut. I even had the privilege of working on set with the iconic stylist Grace Cottington. In 2020, I embarked on a groundbreaking project, capturing the essence of 100 individuals throughout 2021. This endeavor culminated in my debut hardcover book, "Angles," serving as a testament to the evolution of my work. This remarkable venture stands as a highlight, showcasing my unwavering dedication to capturing the essence of every moment with unparalleled artistry and precision.
