Get Creative

I’m pleased to be part of Fast Company’s “100 Most Creative People in Business” issue, on the newsstands now. We photographed Leslie Berland of American Express. Her title is SVP, Digital Partnerships & Development, as she heads up their new and very relevant social media division.

Ms. Berland was wonderful to work with, making the day for the photo crew and the Fast Company team relaxed and enjoyable. The shoot was assigned by Photo Editor Leslie dela Vega and we were pleased and honored to have Creative Director Florian Bachleda on set to help guide the proceedings.

All of the behind-the-scenes photos here were shot by my intern Molly Mullin.
