Individual ✶ editorial ✶ brand talentLook like yourself,
but on your best day
Nobody knows what to do with their hands. That is not your job, it is mine. I direct the whole way through, show you the back of the camera early so you can relax, and we keep going until we have the frame you would actually choose.
Your time,
properly used
Before the day we talk about what the pictures are actually for, because a dating profile, a book jacket and a company about page all want a slightly different person looking back. Bring more options than you think you need and we will work it out together.
The first ten minutes are throwaway and I will say so out loud. It takes about that long for anyone to stop performing. After that we work through the looks and I direct continuously: where your weight goes, where to look, what to do with your hands, when to stop smiling and just breathe. You see frames as we go.
