GEM IMAGING ARTIST
“How can I assist you in expressing your brand artistically?”
Decades of rich experience have sharpened my photographic eye to quickly detect the right angle and the right light during which to CLICK at precisely the right moment in which to capture the fleeting kinetic eternity of a gemstones moment. My DIY organic approach (translation = years of trial & error) consistently captures what I consider to be the soul of the gem I photograph. A life-long self-learner & serial creator my approach to imaging continues to evolve combining 360º stills, multi-camera video and the even the integration of improvised musical “reactions” to color.
How can I assist you in expressing your “brand” artistically? We all know that the inherent beauty of your product has the potential to grow community - how then can that expression be tied to your products/services, your industry & your local region? Benefactors of the arts comprise the most affluent segment of the population most likely to purchase your luxury products & services. These well-heeled buyers historically prefer to deal with companies that provide either support of or a connection to the arts. What aspect of your product or service can be event driven and can that event become the canvas for even greater creativity? Your best clients are waiting…
