I’m a documentary photographer and photojournalist based in NYC and a member of Women Photograph. Some of my editorial clients include The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New Republic, AFP, El Pais, and more. Alongside my practice, I specialize in helping women photographers execute on striking documentary projects & build portfolios that get editors' attention, with my 90-day 1:1 mentors
hip program "Stories not singles". Early-career photographers often approach me as they look to improve their technical skills or know where to start to build a project that will make them stand out. They want to ensure how to do it ethically and with a meaningful, unique point of view. But they're frustrated when it comes to having accountability and finding a mentor who can give them feedback and the right pointers to keep them going. And they're often doing things like:
- Aiming to be great technically, before committing to stepping a foot outside
- Spending (too much) time figuring out which gear to buy
- Making single images that look nice aesthetically, but don’t speak to one another
- Mainly taking advantage of holidays or "exotic" places to photograph
Doing this isn't simply inefficient, it's can also be frustrating and costly…
