About Visual Arts Photography Projects
Designed for Exhibitions, Museums, Galleries, and other Visual Arts-Based Organizations and Events
Arts-Focused Projects are ideal for museums, galleries, and arts organizations with a need to capture impactful, artistic photographs of their curated works in context of your space. I leverage my experience and passion for street and architectural photography to informs my work, capturing stunning scenes of visual art in physical context. My goal is to capture a series of artistic images that connect the beauty of the space itself with the collection on display, with photographs that transport the viewer envision their future visit to your collection.
At the end of our project, you will have a suite of images to use for promotional, marketing, and proposal efforts; and usage on your website and your social media spaces.
*These projects can be tailored for arts-focused events (receptions, fundraisers, artist talks, etc).

About Visual Artist Photography “Mini Projects”
Designed for Individual Artists: Exhibitions | Studio Space | Art Installations | Documentation of Finished Works
My Visual Artist Photography “Mini Projects” are exclusively for individual artists looking to have your installation or exhibition work photographed and documented with an artist’s eye behind the lens.
My goal: to learn about you: your art practice and what inspires you to create. Then I do my thing behind the camera: creating artistic, visually compelling photographs to convey your artistic voice with meaning and impact.
I will create photographs that document each of your works (we will make a list beforehand!). And I will photograph you as the artist interacting with your artwork, as well as your work in the context of the space, whether it’s an intimate home studio or an expansive exhibition space.
At the end of our project, you will have a suite of images to use for your portfolio, future promotional and proposal efforts (digital portfolio, grant proposals, calls for artist responses, etc), and usage on your website and your social media spaces.
