What superpower would you want? Feel free to invent one.

I’d like to control the weather, I’m pretty sure every location photographer would love that superpower.

Top Bucket List?

Trekking in Patagonia and climbing Kilimanjaro. Beyond that, it would also be pretty cool to catch up with Game of Thrones one day.

What were you like as a 10 year old?

I was a tomboy and I liked to compete with all the boys. Not much has changed.

What might surprise people about you?

I speak fluent Chinese and I’m a pretty good hitchhiker.

What do you know now, you wish you’d known when you first out?

I probably would have exclusively dated art buyers!

First time you got paid to take a photograph?

I got hit in the face by a baseball shooting little league. From how often I now direct athletes to “aim the ball right at the camera” I clearly still haven’t learned my lesson.
