“When your passion is telling stories with images, writing about yourself is not easy. I could talk about my love for the creative process, the excitement of exchanging ideas with clients, the pure pleasure of being handed a great layout, or the high adrenaline level I feel when preparing for the creative and technical aspects of an assignment.

I could also mention the comfort of working with great assistants and stylists or the ultimate satisfaction of delivering the digital file to my client and watching their reactions. Long after the images fade away, it is mutual respect we develop with our clients that we take the most enjoyment in."
