ABOUT ME
I never thought I would end up as a photographer. I spent my early years studying classical music, earned a degree in Economics, and worked in the corporate world doing everything from marketing to day trading. When my husband and I moved to NYC in the early 2000s, I answered a Craigslist ad for a $20-a-day assistant job at a hair and makeup agency. That foot in the door led me to becoming a producer for a fashion photography agency. My favorite part of the job was sending off artists’ books for potential jobs and looking through their beautiful portfolios. It opened my eyes to the world of commercial and editorial photography, and I was hooked! I've been shooting for 18 years - landscapes, fashion, shoes, jewelry, portraits, families, weddings—and the thrill of capturing a special moment or telling a compelling story through imagery never gets old for me.
In recent years, I’ve started incorporating AI into my work. Some works are entirely AI-generated while others are an amalgamation of photography and AI. AI, for good or bad, is quickly taking hold of so many aspects of our lives. I think artists in general are pretty upset and scared by the implications of AI taking over the art world. My hope is to use AI as a tool to create beautiful, meaningful art, to take what I envision and "paint" it onto a digital canvas. AI gives artists the opportunity to unlock their creativity in new ways, and I hope that instead of witnessing the death of the art community, it will create a new generation of artists who will use these innovative tools to create art we’ve never seen before.
