Portrait Work - The Archives

My photography career started in the portrait world. I dove into the scene of photographers and models, made connections with others in the industry and grew my name while learning something new from every shoot.

I hosted and co-hosted local meetups in the Chicago area, partnered with brands such as The H Collective & Gypsy Junkies, as well as coached photographers and models on improving their skills and social media presence.

Prior to portrait work, I mainly captured landscapes and street art. Working with people 1 on 1 was such an eye opening experience. I learned how to vocalize my vision, manage the scene, pose & frame, and so much more. Photographing people was my calling and I would soon leave my job to pursue that profession.

I’m incredibly thankful for everyone I’ve had the pleasure of working with on a creative or professional level. There’s so much going on behind the scenes including concept design, wardrobe, location and purpose. Portrait work allowed me to sharpen my eye and imagination behind the camera, something I carry into every session I’m hired for.
