As a Lighting Designer I worked with Creatives to help create Ad campaigns and Editorial content. From major print campaigns to small motion projects. Working from story boards I could help create a lighting scheme that fit the creative. This position helped me become a better photographer. Learning how productions work, problem solving and working with in budgets constraints.

Working with different photographers from LA, NYC, SF and the UK exposed me to different techniques and ways to approach photography. I had the privilege of working on fashion campaigns, editorial portraits and album packaging for record labels. Taking what I learned on set and applying that to my own craft.
