For the past 3-4 years I've worked mostly in product photography after transitioning from a full-time freelance role where I fulfilled clients needs in video, photo, and audio projects. I have 18 years of experience working in video and photo on a wide variety of projects for all manner of business. I never worked for an advertising agency during that time or on a production crew, but I was often working in partnership with those more formal professionals. Prior to and along with my video and photo work, I produced audio-only content ranging from music to spoken word content including interviews and podcasts. I was often responsible for setting up rss feeds and obtaining use rights for third-party assets. I'm interested in transitioning to an audio-only or dialogue-heavy format like podcasts and away from my full-time role as a product photographer. I'm proficient in the applicable Adobe editing tools including lightroom Classic, Photoshop, and Premiere. I know the Izotope and waves audio cleaning software and am a quick and solid editor of audio in Logic Pro X and several other applications.…For the past 3-4 years I've worked mostly in product photography after transitioning from a full-time freelance role where I fulfilled clients needs in video, photo, and audio projects.
