![]() I have been a commercial photographer for eight years, starting on staff as Chief Photographer at Sonicnet/MTV Networks. My images have also been featured in the many publications including: the San Francisco Business Times. Rolling Stone, Spin, People, the San Jose Mercury News, the Marin Independent Journal, AsianWeek, Fortune, and other magazines. With my editorial stint largely behind me, I now shoot advertising and fashion assignments in a commercial photo studio, and have traveled on assignment across the United States as well as to Italy, France, Thailand, Philippines, and the U.K. I studied Photojournalism and Humanities at San Francisco State University, and continue to develop by participating in workshops and professional organizations around the country. I also teach my own workshops on lighting and beauty photography and am a Owner/Partner of Fashionista Studio.
