I got started in 1986 when the mens booker for Irene Marie handed me his card with an invitation to meet Irene and discuss opportunities. I took him up on the offer and shot for Interview Magazine the same day!
Some pivotal moments would include having three campaigns running simultaneously in the same year. Kenneth Cole shot by Richard Avedon, Dolce and Gabbana shot by Steven Meisel and Barneys NY shot by Roxanne Lowit under creative director Simon Doonan. Those were halcyon days for sure.
I stayed in the biz and remain so when opportunities arise because it showed me the world and it’s how I met my life partner Nicole. I’m grateful when I think how a chance meeting with a new agency changed my life.
