Since 2017 I’ve worked on print projects from simple zines to hardcover photobooks with a variety of clients. I will answer your questions, lead you through the process, and provide connections for design and printing. We will review your goals and expectations and I’ll share what I’ve learned along the way to transform your ideas into something tangible. We can focus on getting started and the logistics of how to bring a print project to life and I can also offer a collaborative approach to image editing, sequencing and pairing to improve the strength of your print project. I’ll help you refine your point of view and guide you in the process of putting your idea out into the world.

Whether you are just getting started with photography or are already pursuing a career, let me help you build confidence and navigate the sometimes intimidating fine art world. We’ll review best practices, ways to hone your skills and artistic voice, and how to find and approach opportunities such as: open calls, photo contests, portfolio reviews, and exhibitions. Let me help you push beyond  your comfort zone and go after what you want, no matter how ambitious.

I will use my extensive experience both curating exhibitions and participating in them to help you conceive of your work in a physical 3D space. We will review the required preparation for group and individual shows. This includes curating a selection of images that tells an impactful story on the wall, and the sequence and presentation of those images. I will advise you on the details of executing the prints down to image size and resolution to paper choice and printing resources and timeline. We will discuss framing and the pros and cons of investing in different presentation options. Let me help you make the most of opportunities to get your work seen!

I’ll support you in figuring out the best way to write about yourself, your work, and your ideas in the form of an artist statement, project description, exhibition description or proposal, or application. We’ll work together to craft clear, impactful text that enhances your visual work. The goal is to make sure your unique voice comes through while articulating your ideas in a professional and succinct manner.

With a focus on projects shot on film, I will provide feedback and constructive critique of an ongoing or completed body of work. I will consider the concept and technical execution, overall sequencing and presentation, and give specific guidance on ways to move forward down to film and camera choice, subject and composition. We will review your goals and prepare you for reviews, workshops, and more formal critiques.

Let’s work together to identify and hone your artistic voice. We can discuss and develop a more general direction for multiple projects and your creative practice, or get into the details of a particular idea.

Together, we will go over in-depth, constructive critiques of an in-progress or existing body of work. I will analyze your technical skills, artistic vision, and overall presentation. I want to help you identify strengths and weaknesses in your work and provide guidance on editing, sequencing, and presenting an effective portfolio. Most of all, I can help you understand how your work might be received in a workshop or review environment.

I want to help you understand how to create a cohesive and impactful visual story. I’ll guide you through the process of selecting and arranging images for desired outcome. Let’s improve the presentation of your work so every audience understands your creative vision.

We know that impactful imagery is often accompanied by compelling text. Whether it's an artist statement, article, or a project description, I can help you articulate your vision with clarity and precision. Let’s work together to distill your complex ideas into concise, engaging language. I’ll guide you in structuring your artist statement to resonate with viewers, ensuring it complements your images without overshadowing them. I can help you identify any jargon or overly academic language, and help you translate it into something that can be understood by a larger audience. Most importantly, we’ll focus on grammar, flow, and overall readability, ensuring your text is polished, professional, but still uniquely yours.

We will work together to conceptualize, develop, and refine new project ideas. Let’s brainstorm concepts, refine works-in-progress, and develop a clear vision for future success.

Preparation for navigating the photo festival and workshop circuit. We’ll go over portfolio submissions, presentations, and advice on best networking practices when given the opportunity to connect with other photographers, industry professionals, or potential collaborators. Let’s maximize your experiences!
