Photographer
Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you based out of?
I'm based in New York City, New York. Specifically, I live in the Upper East Side, Manhattan area — close to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
Do you travel for your photoshoots?
Absolutely. New York City is great but I love to travel, both nationally and internationally! If you're in need of a talented photographer for a shoot outside of NYC, don't hesitate to ask me to meet you on location. In addition to my usual day rate, I will require airfare, lodging and (possibly) transportation.
How would you describe your style?
I love photos that showcase emotion, and originality. My goal is to tell a story without words.
Do you use Social Media?
Absolutely! Check me out on Instagram.

COMMERCIAL WORK / SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGNS / OTHER TYPES OF SHOOTS
Prices for larger shoots, commercial and branded content (including lookbooks and social media campaigns) can vary heavily depending on the extent of work involved, licensing, and travel, among other things. Contact me for detailed pricing.
How do we book you?
In order to secure booking, I may require a nonrefundable deposit due upon booking, a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the shoot date. Get in touch for more info.
Do you do other types of photography?
Though the majority of my work is portrait and fashion-based, I've also extensively shot product still life, engagement portraits, a handful of weddings, and events. I also love photographing food in my free time!
What's your policy on image delivery?
Please note: After each shoot, photo previews are hosted in a private online gallery for model/client to review and select for retouching. These proofing images will be unedited, unretouched, and low resolution (72 DPI and 500px on the long side). Final, edited images will be high resolution and may take up to 2 weeks to be completed and delivered via download.
Retouching includes global exposure correction, color grading, blemish removal, skin contouring, skin tone correction, detail sharpening, background spot removal, and highlight/shadow recovery. Extensive image manipulation — including, but not limited to, body reshaping, background object removal, background extension, spot coloring, and swaps — may incur additional fees. Alternate versions of photos — including black and white conversions, alternate crops (e.g. a square crop for Instagram), resized/rescaled images, and alternate file versions (e.g. TIFF or PSD files) — may also incur additional fees. Re-delivery and re-uploading of archived, edited files more than 3 months after initial delivery of photos will also incur a flat rate of $150 per session.
A standard model release must be signed upon arrival or prior to the shoot. Models under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian present for the shoot.
