are based on your needs. Contact me for more information. From camera bodies to lenses, and to lighting, my gear is professional. Also, I have over 17+ years experience as a marketing communications professional (strategy, branding, print design, writing, tradeshows and social media, for example). This taught me to work with people in solving problems, using industry processes, to arrive at creative solutions. So, what is the story you want your photographs to convey? How do you want them to be perceived? I can provide you with creative, photographic solutions.

*CogitoErgoShoot is derived from the classic latin phrase by the French philosopher and mathematician René Descartes—"Cogito Ergo Sum", which, in a nutshell, means "I think, therefore I am." Or, in my case, "… I shoot." Cheers, mel.
