ABOUT
I compose, I crop, I dodge, I burn, and my bills are mostly paid. I have lit portraits with a flashlight, a matchbook, and once, the headlights of a 1996 Bronco. I have lugged sandbags through Soho in heels. I have built backdrops out of moving blankets, shower curtains, and conviction. I have wrangled toddlers, celebrities, goats, and a 26-year-old bald eagle named Liberty into frame—though never all at once. I have shot in mountain snowstorms, desert heat waves, and the back rooms of hotels so chic their elevators require a password. I have rappelled down Rockefeller Center and ridden in the bucket of a bulldozer. I once escaped a herd of bison on foot, scaled a construction crane for a better angle, and spent exactly seven minutes in a hotel room with Brad Pitt, none of which I can legally explain. I have flown over fjords in a helicopter and ridden horses to the Continental Divide. All for the light. I have been trusted to capture the most private faces of public people. I have made moments out of cold coffee and existential dread. I’ve reverse-engineered IKEA furniture into light modifiers. I’ve turned tantrums into mood boards and captured vulnerability in three-piece suits.
On weekends, to let off steam, I alphabetize gaffer tape. I hold regional records in speed-lint rolling and competitive parallel parking under emotional duress. I diagram projects on cocktail napkins and the backs of unpaid invoices. I solve logistical problems with interpretive dance and duct tape. I have delivered on deadlines that bent space and time. The Pope introduced me to my husband, and I have never met an Elvis impersonator I didn’t like.
On Tuesdays, I am photogenic if it’s a waning moon and dish detergent is on sale. And everything you just learned about me is definitely, maybe true.
