Professional Experience
A freelancer with 10 years in the publishing industry, I have been the photo editor for dozens of books (including some award winning titles), styled models and celebrities for magazines and written about my travels around the globe. I love the challenge of finding the perfect image to illustrate illustrate a passage or article. An image can take a reader to a place, clarify a topic or further evoke an emotion that a writer was hoping to achieve.
