Here is a selection of freelance photography showing my work in a variety of photography fields.
These photographs highlight commercial photography, advertising & marketing imagery, conservation work, published media and/or licensed photo stock.
COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHY
This assignment required me to create a generic trash assortment to be staged for “before & after” photos at various locations across Ventura County, Los Angeles & Santa Barbara, CA.
These photographs are only a couple of the many photographs captured in the streets, shoreline and cities. These were used in a state-wide outreach campaign for Clean Water CA.
These images were running on all social media platforms, corporate website & also printed for display in public transit areas.
