A long time ago…no wait, that’s not the way to start this. I’ll let you in on a not-so-secret tidbit about myself. I’m a big nerd. I might play it cool, but if the conversation turns to old movies, random facts about Willow, or professional wrestling, you will witness my inner geek let loose.

Out of all things, I’ve never considered myself to be a photography nerd. To be fair, I didn’t study photography. I didn’t go to college for Fine Arts, and I’ve never used a darkroom before (though I love shooting analog and it is one of my goals to learn how to develop my own film!). My knowledge and appreciation of the art form is purely instinctual and hands on. I have been lucky to learn from very talented people on set as both an actor/model and then as a photographer’s assistant. I like to think this makes my take on things unique, especially when it comes to directing people. Modeling is hard work! Styling and building sets requires talent and dedication! I LOVE a creative team and a bustling set.

Going forward, I’ll be sharing more of these little tidbits as well as behind the scenes from shoots and travels and I hope you’ll stop by. Feel free to ask questions, leave comments, or anything else and I look forward to hearing from you!

À bien tôt!
