Living Room Critiques
My living room critiques are small independent workshops that meet in my home in New York City. These sessions offer an intimate but structured environment where the photographer receives expert input and ongoing dialog with fellow photographers. This supportive setting is for photographers who enjoy working independently, but also appreciate structured critiques and group.

Visual Advice for Companies, Organizations and Start-Ups In the 21st century.
Photography’s role in creating an image over the internet has become paramount, making photography the cornerstone of communication for websites and social networks.
The ability to convey a visual story with photographs relies on editing and sequencing.
How images are used on a website can either attract or deflect viewers, so a succinct edit of groups of images are essential.
News organizations, start ups, and small and large companies are transforming how they use and think about photography and now make visual storytelling part of their communication strategies.
I can help your organizations find the best methods for using photography as an effective tool across all communication platforms.
What I Can Offer Your Company
• Advice on visual content to create a web presence and connect you with the social networking experts that will take your images to the next level
• Assemble a team of professionals to develop a multi media presentation that articulates your image and vision
• Aid in the development of hard copy material such as pamphlets, books or mailers
• Workshops and Seminars. Some organizations would rather do their work in-house, but lack staff that is educated in visual storytelling. I can create workshops and seminars tailored to your specific needs and match you with the right photography, editing or multi-media expert who will train your staff to work independently.
