I took some photography classes in college but never felt I was good at it, I was studying and majored in Graphic Design. After college, I started working for a women’s clothing brand as graphic designer for about 7 years, I got bored with graphic design and stumbled into photography again because we would do a lot photoshoots for the company. I saw how fun and creative you can get with fashion photography so I started doing a lot of research with different fashion photographers, like Juergen Teller, Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin, and so on – and I just really got into it and fell in love. I then got let go from my job (probably the best thing that ever happened to me) which pushed me to pursue photography and the rest is history.

Yes and no, I remember having a polaroid camera when I was a really young but don't remember what I took. I don't have vivid memories of when I was really young, kind of weird, plus our house burned down back then and burned a lot of belongings including photos and such.

Not really, sometimes I let things happen or capture moments that I don’t plan or look for. I like shooting stuff that are unpredictable, if that make sense.

Haha, that should be fun! I have too many ideas in my head right now but I’m sure Donald and Melania wouldn’t like it.

Yes and Yes. For example, with Jeffrey Campbell, I work with the same amazing team. Our creative director, Bridgette Bayley, does a lot of art direction but also lets me be me when I shoot, which I love.

I like to talk to my models first and get a vibe if they’re only wanting to shoot for their Instagram contents or really want to create art with me. I like to look at model’s IG feed and get a vibe of who they are, then talk to them for a bit and what they’re about. I love models who are quirky, sexy, who have a great sense of fashion and style, not afraid of anything and open minded.

Women are just more beautiful and more interesting to capture than men, to be honest – in my opinion, of course.

Absolutely.

Definitely. When I get angry DMs from boyfriends.

Sounds cliche, but Kate Moss. 

Art shows, galleries and books.

I love food, but I will never be a food photographer.
