Although it’s not a large part of what I do now, it’s worth mentioning that I have years of experience designing layouts and art directing photoshoots for jewelry and luxury brands including Bailey Banks & Biddle, Zales, Stanley Korshak, Neiman Marcus and others.
Brown+Partners specialized in jewelry, so I gained a lot of experience laying out catalog pages as well as drawing layouts for photographers to refer to when shooting. I still revert to pen and paper when I need to solve a layout challenge or create a go by for a photoshoot.
Due to my experience with photographers and photoshoots, I’m totally at home on set when needed. These are just a few examples of shots I’ve art directed for various clients.
