I am a fun, energetic, creative person, that takes pride in the work that I produce. Finding the right photographer or artist for a campaign can be the difference between a major success and a major failure. As an art buyer & photo producer, I’ve developed a strong eye for talent, artistic vision and personality that has led to higher profits for clients and more visually appealing brand identities. My experience with photographer recruitment has led me to hire a wide range of photographers in both the United States and Canada for a variety of topics. Recruiting photographers can present many types of challenges, and I take pride in finding creative solutions and getting the right fit for each situation. Outside of art buying, I also have experience in photo research, retouching, social media, art direction, and photography itself. Because I have interacted with all of the different aspects of the photography industry, I am able to collaborate with a wide range of people and personalities and come up with effective creative solutions when problems present themselves.
