As a lover of the arts and a professional photographer with over 5 years of experience specializing in branding and marketing, I was excited to learn of your Staff Photographer opening. I believe in the power of photography and I am confident that I can help capture and tell the visual stories the museum and its exhibitions or events have to share with the community.

​

Currently running my own business, I have successfully leveraged my strong photography, organizational, and time-management skills to brainstorm and execute branding and marketing strategies for hundreds of clients. To realize these results, I think deeply about my client's desires and utilize my expertise of digital photography and lighting techniques to capture exact images using my professional grade Canon DSLR camera and photography gear - either in a studio setting or out on the street. I then proficiently edit the images using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop to ensure that the intended message or visual is accurately conveyed.

​

Most recently, the pandemic caused a shift in my client demand towards videography, allowing me to leverage my skills to solve their video advertising and promotional needs. All of this combined with web expertise honed through the development of my own site, I am a versatile candidate and would love to join the Seattle Art Museum team. 

I welcome the chance to discuss with you how I can contribute to the expression of SAM's brand. Thank you so much for your time.

I look forward to hearing from you.
