WORK EXPERIENCE
1997-present Freelance Photographer
For about 5 years, I primarily shot fashion for Dillards Visual, the large in-store posters and
other collateral (see my website).
My client list had also included American Airlines, JC Penney, Harold's, and other smaller clients.
I started in 1996, assisting many professional commercial photographers while I worked at
various other jobs and got my degree in photography. Started shooting freelance jobs/tests
while working with one of my professors at UTA in 1997, and have been at it ever since. I still
love to assist to keep myself up-to-date and fresh. I am a member of ASMP (ASMP.org) here in
Dallas. I learned far more from assisting in the real world of commercial photography than I
ever did in school. I am technically proficient when it comes to lighting equipment, camera
systems and techniques. I have become proficient in the use of software, mostly Photoshop,
Lightroom, Aperture, and Capture One Pro.

2. 5/2001-12/2001 Barton Creek Resort/Conference Center, Austin, Texas
Primarily an audio/visual tech, I also handled all photographic matters. BC has some impressive
equipment in the A/V department, and I learned a great deal about it. Met and worked with
many interesting people, some celebrities, and had a good deal of personal responsibility.

Brief stint as an A/V tech here, business got really slow, and I had to leave due to hours being
cut to next to nothing.
2000-2001 Prestige Portraits
Studio/location photographer for this portrait studio in Austin, Texas. Primary clients were
higher-end High School seniors, but also worked with families and couples. The studio was
somewhat limited in resources, but I came up with new lighting rigs and techniques and came
away with some great shots. Built on my people skills, as well. We were making a lot of money,
but due to management problems, they cut our budget and I was the last hired, so the first
fired.
