One year ago, @staceylbaker took a chance on me after I sent her a cold email wanting to show her my work and hired me to shoot the cover of The New York Times Magazine with now Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Today, I’m so proud to share that I’ve photographed my 2nd politician and cover of a prolific magazine I’ve long followed. It’s been a huge dream of mine to shoot for @time and I got the cover story for my first assignment.⁣ ⁣ Thank you so much to @paulmoakley for believing in me for this project and bringing me on board. I’ll be forever grateful to these editors who helped pave my career.⁣ ⁣ It was such a pleasure to photograph @kamalaharris who posed with such grace. Thank you to @jamestiffanyphotography + @at.narvaez for the assist. Thanks @dyanjong for retouching. Equipment from @edge_studios and special thanks to @samys_camera for helping me out with my anxious self as I tried to figure out the perfect backdrop color for an hour. I think I nailed it.
