Thank you for taking the time to visit my portfolio. I am a portrait photographer, a union prop master, and set dec buyer with a background in art direction. As a multifaceted artist, working in various areas has sharpened my visual storytelling and creative expression, helping me bring to life striking images that resonate with the audience.
In my portrait photography, I focus on capturing the essence of my subjects, ensuring that their personality shines through in each shot. By combining my knowledge of composition and lighting with my art direction skills, I create images that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also emotionally vibrant.
As a prop master, my experience has encompassed a diverse range of projects, from independent films to commercials and music videos. I strive to curate props that align with the artistic vision of the director while ensuring they meet practical needs for the actors. Throughout this journey, I have cultivated a keen eye for detail and an ability to collaborate effectively with various departments. Each production challenged me to innovate under tight timelines and budgets, reinforcing my adaptability and problem-solving skills critical to the success of any project.
Alongside my expertise in props, I also specialize in food styling. Through multiple years of experience as a chef, I developed a deep understanding of textures, colors, and arrangement. My mom always said to me “you eat with your eyes!”, and that deeply reflects how I feel about food. The way a dish looks is as important as its taste. I always pick ingredients that complement each other and create beautiful presentations that captivate your eye. By combining soft and coarse textures or balancing bright colors, I aim to turn each plate into an art piece that connects with the observer.
I hope you enjoy exploring my projects and the unique perspectives I aim to bring to each one. I look forward to sharing my creative journey with you.
