  Born Shoe

  Mar 2018 - Mar 2018

  Photographer | Second shooter

  I was second shooter for Born Shoe's Fall 2018 fashion campaign. I was assigned to capture lifestyle imagery of models and products for their new seasonal fashion collection. I directed models so I could collect a wide variety of perspectives and angles and control the flow of the session. I maintain constant communication with multiple teams to ensure that daily goals were on task. I also aided the digitech to secure proper file management and storage.
