What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster creativity and innovation in photography and craftsmanship.

As a dedicated Photographer and Image Specialist, I have honed my skills in capturing and retouching high-end items for auctions and sales. My experience includes appraising and buying jewelry, fine art, antiquities, and watches, while running sponsored buying events across the country. I pride myself on providing excellent service to customers and maintaining strong communication with sponsors.

In addition to my photography expertise, I have a background in craftsmanship and design, having worked on specialized construction projects for both commercial and residential properties. My artistic endeavors include the fabrication of unique sculptures and the completion of innovative projects, such as the world's first fully functional resin doors. I am passionate about creating sustainable ideas and solutions that expand possibilities in my work.
