Communication
Do you want to work with someone who thrives on good communication and values our interaction as much as our work together? I'm a great listener, a creative problem solver, and can provide clear, comprehensive answers to your digital needs. I have a knack for being low-stress, patient, and maintaining my sense of humor in a fast-paced environment. For me, it's about working hard and having fun the whole time!
Digital Tech
I'm a perfect fit on a crew as small as two people or as large as dozens of people - I've done both, many times. I'm experienced in all phases of post-production - with both Canon and Nikon systems (shooting directly to card or tethered to Mac or PC) as well as lots of photographic software: Adobe Photoshop + Lightroom + Camera Raw + Bridge / Apple Aperture + QuickTime Pro / Boinx FotoMagico / DxO Optics Pro / iView MediaPro / Microsoft Expression Media / Phase One Capture One Pro ... and more. Most importantly, I have the business skills to know how to relate to your clients when they're looking right over my shoulder.

Retouching
From white balancing and skin tone adjustments to advanced compositing, I'm able to quickly learn your style and can fine-tune your photos so they look just like you want them to. I've done exacting work for advertising and editorial clients as well as precision color matching from transparency for fine art clients using calibrated monitors with the printer profiles you need.

Digital Assests Management
Whether you have a few gigabytes or many terabytes of photographic data, I'm a master organizer. From thorough metadata procedures to file organization, I'll listen to your unique organizational needs, then devise and work with you to implement a DAM plan so you can find any of your photographs in no time.

With years of experience as a consultant, tutor, and corporate trainer, I'm able to quickly design customized sessions so that you'll understand what you want to know about digital cameras, photographic software, or your Mac.
