I am an Atlanta-based artist with a dual line of work: film & TV (art department) and commercial photographer and retoucher, with some basic design work thrown in. I focus on:–Art direction, set decoration, set dressing, props, paint, construction, and other functions of a film & TV art department. I also own a set dec & props house, which lies inside my multi-artist studio space. This comes in very handy when working just about any art department job!
–Real estate photography, interiors, and exteriors.
–Weddings and engagements. I adore small weddings, elopements in unusual places, quirky and off-beat weddings (themed, goth, non-traditional clothing), destination weddings, and I am 100% LGBTQ-friendly and supportive. I can recommend just about any kind of vendor who is too, who’d LOVE to make your wedding a gorgeous celebration of love.
–Travel and tourism.
–Musicians and bands (live performance, backstage, documentary photojournalism).
–Unit production stills for film and TV, EPK, and behind-the-scenes packages.
–Headshots and portfolio packages for actors and models.
–Post-production & retouching.
–Design work: look books, magazine covers, mock-ups for film and TV productions, movie posters, band posters, CD covers, and more utilitarian items like invitations, business cards, and letterhead.
