Photography
Photography is the second most important aspect to a successful marketing strategy. A company needs to visually show its product in all marketing materials. I am not claiming to have the skills of a professional photographer (yet), but I’m not afraid to get behind a DSLR on auto with manual focus, and capture live action events or stills with creative composition. I have been behind the camera for most of the jobs I’ve held. My most successful work has been at the Cleveland Skating Club and at Cleveland Whiskey.
I have studied traditional black and white photography in the dark room at several different points in my life. I took two semesters in high school, and a course through Cleveland Institue of Art's continuing education program. This was more of an open studio format where you could work on your projects, but it did also include trips to various walkable locations for shooting practice. Later in college, I took another black and white foundation photography class, and received great remarks from my professor.

A favorite! I took this in high school while doing my CIA open studio class.


When have you ever seen a fire hydrant on it's side?

This photo was shot at a carnival. I love it.
