Friends (9)About Me
I'm a 27 year veteran photojournalist. I've worked for Reuters, Agency France Press, Associated Press and several newspapers over the years. I'm 47 years old and have made my living behind a camera since I was 19. Being a news photographer, I've shot in nearly every situation, from Super Bowls to CEO Head Shots to the Columbine Shooting to Pets with Santa to natural disasters. I've had a camera in my hands at least 5 days a week for 25 years.
I'm an expert with lighting, particularly location shooting. I'm moving on from news to my Plan B. Looking to do some TFP to learn how to better work with a model. Would like to work models with some experience to help me better my skills. Being a news photographer I've never taken control of a shoot and asked the subject to do anything. In my profession, if you didn't realize I was shooting photos, I'm doing my job right. I shoot with Nikon D4's, have lights, softboxes, reflectors, stands, Octoboxes and years of experience. I am very proficient behind the camera, just need practice working 1 on 1 with a model. Most of my work has been being a fly on the wall and trying to not influence the scenes I shoot. Photojournalism. Would love to trade photos for time to work on people skills. I'm friendly and like to joke around just need to work on my skill directing people to get the look we are both going for. Verified Credits (1)Worked with Mark Leffingwell?
