The person
in the picture.

I look for the small changes: how you hold yourself, where the light falls, the moment an expression feels like your own. We work through those together.

My approach comes from years of fashion and editorial work, including time in New York photographing models represented by agencies such as The Society and Elite. I bring that same attention to a first portfolio and an established model’s update.
