About
I have recently graduated from Indiana University with a BFA in Photography, an Art History minor, and Liberal Arts and Management Program degree.
During my studies in the BFA Photography program I have broadened my range of photographic skills. I have been in charge of conceptualizing and executing ideas and themes for photographic works. I have also gained experience with the digital photography workflow and feel very comfortable with all processes, including scanning at high resolutions and systematically filing the images before printing or uploading to the web.
I am also just as versed using film cameras, darkroom printing processes and black and white film processing. I have experience with 35mm, medium format, and 4x5 cameras using the zone system. I have used studio strobes and hot lights, as well as remote triggered flashes both in the studio and on location.
I am currently living in Chicago and working as a photo assistant intern for Jill Paider and also a freelance photo assistant at Schawk, Inc.

Wedding Gallery Updates 9.4.08
I have added some new photos to the Wedding gallery. They are from JD and Sara Clark's wedding that I shot over the summer. I shot mostly digital, but also got some good medium format stuff. Also, I added some gallery viewing instruction that can be found in the portfolio section. This might help clarify some of the navigation buttons and what they do.
On a side note, I started my internship with Jill Paider today. Check back for more updates on that in the future.
Chicago 8.27.08
This summer has been crazy so far. I am planning on moving to Chicago within in the next week or so. My apartment is still being put together, floors, paint, appliances, you know, the major stuff. I got an internship with Jill Paider. She is a commercial photographer in Chicago. I am pretty excited about the position and I hope that it will turn into something more at the end of the internship. I have some more work/ updates to upload as soon as I get settled in Chicago. Check back soon.
