Questions about photography and publishing? Ask me

I work with photographers in reviewing and assessing bodies of work and long-term photographic projects, particularly projects that are book related. I have an in-depth knowledge of the photography and publishing industry and I work with photographers on a case-by-case and hourly basis.**

My services can be adapted in order to meet your goals. Specific ways that we can work together:

  • You will come to better understand the world of photography and photography book publishing.
  • Do you have a book project? Together we can consult on the overall concept of your book.
  • Collaborative guidance on the edit and sequence of your photographs for a book.
  • Assist you in researching the vast field of photography book publishers and creative alternatives to traditional trade publishing.
  • Guide you in the development and refinement of a book proposal.
  • Writing and editing assistance with artist statements, forewords or essays.
  • Have your website and portfolio reviewed and assessed to further refine your style, impact, and professionalism.
  • Organize and prepare your materials for portfolio review events.
  • Coach you on the creative direction for your work in general or a project in particular, building on your strengths.

If you are interested in working with me as a consultant on a book project, need help in preparing for a portfolio review event, or want to attend an upcoming workshop or lecture, please view my upcoming schedule. You may schedule either an in-person or Skype/telephone appointment by contacting me directly at . A verification email will be sent to you after receiving your request; we will then set a time that works for both of us.

** It is important to understand that I am not an agent. I will not make introductions or establish professional relationships for my consulting clients with galleries, publishers or writers.
