ADVANCED DIGITAL MANIPULATION

My goal is to create personalized portraits with a soul. I begin by inquiring about the story or desired outcome behind the project and develop a plan that includes lighting, posing, background, color scheme and overall style. Alternatively, I work as a photojournalist, adapting to spontaneous situations and making quick decisions on the spot. 

During photo sessions, I intuitively observe people’s body language and try to capture genuine expressions representing their character while following marketing guidelines, whether a formal business headshot or a more creative editorial-style portrait. Over two decades of working with people of eclectic backgrounds and professions give me comfort and confidence, which I try to pass on to my subjects. 

My portrait work experience includes solo projects, collaborations with art directors and editors, model selection, styling, editing, and digital manipulations/retouching.
