Creative Statement

My photography career began at the age of 12 while on safari in Africa when my brother came down with a migraine and gave me his camera for the day. As you can imagine, he never got it back. That was the beginning of a love affair with photography. I went on to study film and apprentice legendary cinematographer Darius Khondji on the set of ALIENS 4 and became one of the youngest female members of the International Cinematographers Guild as a still photographer. Eventually I moved on from camera work to pursue a career as a movie executive at Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures where I worked on films such as TROY, 300, and THE DARK KNIGHT to name a few. I recently moved to London from Los Angeles to continue my work in film as a producer while photographing the beautiful city of London. My work has been exhibited and placed in restaurants, spas, galleries and hotels around the world. My most favorite are the L'Auberge Spa in Del Mar http://www.laubergedelmar.com/ and The Mermaid Inn Restaurants in New York City http://www.themermaidnyc.com/.
