New Orleans Auction Galleries

In the fall of 2021 I had the interesting opportunity to work for the New Orleans Auction Galleries as a photographer. It was a very challenging and rewarding experience. Working in a studio we utilized various lights and boards to either reflect or absorb lighting. Photographing a wide variety from furniture, art, fashion, and people it required close attention to detail and occasional photoshop to lessen reflective glare. I don't have many of the final photos, mostly just images from my phone of what our set up was like, but I have included a few of the final pieces that I do have or links to what I saw on their catalogue. A big thank you to Jason Kruppa, a talented photographer and coworker who showed me the ropes of this unique type of photography.

My final day for the season we worked with a model named Ashley. She modeled designer clothing and a nice collection of jewelry. On this shoot I assisted with lighting and design choices. I worked alongside a team that included another photographer, model, as well as hair and make up.
