How did you get started in photography?
I woke up one day, moved a finger, and started a thought
that got me to call my friend Brendan who connected me to the West Coast Getty
Photo editor. It all started there. Getty Images offers creative and editorial
visual content globally, with over 415 million assets, including award-winning
imagery, video, music, multimedia, and premium digital content. Getty Images works with over 340,000
contributors and hundreds of image partners to provide comprehensive coverage
of more than 160,000 news, sport and entertainment events each year
I originally worked with Peter Kramer and Evan Agostini for
entertainment events. They were a great help. I also enjoyed the production of
editorial photo shoots. I started my career in Milan, Italy, working in a
production office for Andre Werther. It was great. My days were filled with
castings and Polaroid photos, and my nights were filled with clubs, Italian
food and the best in arts and culture.
What camera do you use?
I have a LOMO 35mm film camera. My professional gear is a
bit dated, but it works for me. I have an original Canon 5D that I use with my
50mm 1.2 (beautiful lens), and then my Canon 7D I use two lenses with, 24-70mm
f4 and a 70-200mm 2.8. I have an off-camera flash set up for parties and
editing gear to do selects and sends.
How do you make money?
I do not make a lot of money. I have been unemployed for
about three years. Recently I started doing business development with our
family office. Mostly I parent my kids, which is not a paying job but far more
satisfying than any other job I have ever had.
When you were starting out, was there ever a time you doubted it would work? If so, how did you handle that?
Nope, I always had confidence and a willingness to do
whatever it takes. I kept saying yes, I
kept doing the work, and clients kept calling.
How did you get your first client or customer?
My first client was a referral from a friend.
