I am the owner and consultant at MAS IT: A new kind of IT management and support company for your small to medium-sized business in New York City.

Brand new, full-time fashion, beauty and editorial photographer to the business! Though I’ve been doing this part-time for years, I recently decided to go all into being the best I can be. Artistically and in business!It was when I did my first photo shoot that I knew I had the talent to become a good photographer. As a creative, that’s the fun and easier part of running a photography business. Of course you’re motivated to learn more about how to do better. Tips and tricks to create work that stands out. You’re a creative. Of course.My photography education comes from a combination of talking to other photography colleagues, online-courses, books, videos and largely, shooting. A lot. I take what I learn from other channels and practice. After all, that’s how you get to Carnegie Hall!On the business side, I’m well versed what’s required due to owning my own, very successful IT consulting business for 15 years. There’s a lot of details to running it successfully but it boils down to this: great service + great product = successful business. Be responsible and smart as possible with expenses and take care of everyday business needs in a timely manner. There will be conflicts and problems. That’s business. That’s what makes it challenging. That’s what makes if fulfilling.A Story: How I Do BusinessYears ago, I was photographing 3 models in three different time frames during the day. I had just finished photographing the first model and was going to start on the second. The third had arrived to start on makeup. I stepped away to get something and guess what, they started talking to each other….When I came around the corner, one of them said “We were just saying how you’re the most organized photographer we’ve ever worked with! The timing of the shoots. The digital agreements. The Call Sheet. The day of the shoot. Everything! Most photographers don’t even have agreements. Much less digital ones….”
