New Yorker
I couldn’t upload a new picture of NYC without updating all the faithful followers of my work. As photographers, we all go through different seasons of our life for shooting and producing new work. As much as it kills me, the last half a year or so has not been great for producing new content. The artist inside of me is dying to create new work, but I have spent the last couple months getting my affairs in order and more importantly, relocating to New York City after graduating from Oklahoma State University. I have tons of exciting things going on, but a lot of them will not be visible to my followers for the time being. Here’s the run down:
I am interning/assisting photographer Daniel Castro twice a week and plan to stay with him for quite some time. He’s a great photographer, retoucher, and I am learning tons from him each and every day.
I am the lead retoucher for a product studio in Long Island City where I spend my days retouching products ranging from purses to sunglasses and everything in between. I also shoot products/models for them on occasion as well.
In my “spare” time, I do freelance retouch for other photographers.
There were a few people who were surprised that I would take the time to intern given that I already have a fairly extensive portfolio from my 52-week and 365 projects. I will tell you that as confident as I was in my photographic and retouching abilities before coming to NYC, I have learned as much as I did in my two yearly projects in only 10 weeks here. Nothing beats hands on experience and I’ve already had plenty since arriving. I’m excited about the future and excited to start shooting my own work in the very near future. I can’t wait to share it all with you. I feel like my career has finally begun.
