Background 

I've been a freelance photographer working mostly with national magazines and corporate publications. As a result of this experience, I joined with a handful of other magazine photographers to found Editorial Photographers, an organization that seeks to educate photographers about business practices and to assist in negotiating with publishers on behalf of this community.
