How did you get where you are today as a photographer?
When I graduated from college, I planned on working internationally having studied French Business in Paris and at Boulder. Life decided to take me on a different path and I started working at Macy’s where I opened the gourmet food department. I later transitioned into luxury hotels sales.

You specialize in luxury lifestyle, fashion, faces, and beautiful place. What do you enjoy about photographing a space? And what’s particularly complicated about capturing an interior?

As an editorial photographer, my talent lies in sizing up the space and working the many angles to give clients a choice of images. I work fast, put clients at ease and guarantee my work. Most of my clients are repeat clients so they already know what to expect from having worked with me before.

Lighting is everything in photography. Lighting is energy, so if you want to give an interior a good feeling, the lighting must be ideal. A dark space will just look dark. Best to find the time of day that feels good in the space and bring in lights when needed.

I think it is wise to hire a professional photographer in the beginning of your career to help you develop a consistent professional portfolio. I also think spaces need “warming” up so best to stage a house to make it look more lived in and not cold and sterile.
I like communication, being on time, being efficient, and delivery on client’s schedule. It is important to build trust when working with any client.

I hope to start doing luxury lifestyle photography for boutique high-end hotels around the world. Mexico is my first stop.
