PROFILE

I am a highly motivated and dedicated professional with years of experience and training in the fast-paced world of photography. I have an extensive background in studio lighting and on-location natural light. Upon completing my Associates Degree in Visual Arts and Communications at Bunker Hill College in 2005, I was employed by Smashbox Cosmetics. For the next three years, I was trained directly under the lead photographer, Steven Kahn. Since my time at Smashbox, I have worked as a freelance photographer, editor and studio manager in Los Angeles.
