Work Experience
Owner/Founder
Celebrity Archaeology/PHOTOlink 1992-Present
For more than 3 decades, I took well over 1 million photos of celebrities.
Throughout the years, I have compiled an archive of all these irreplaceable
images through my freelance photography company, PHOTOlink.
With the realization that these photos are still valuable today, I created an
opportunity to highlight these timeless shots. This is when I started my mission to
preserve the art and cultural heritage of celebrity photography from decades past
for the historical benefit of future generations. Hence, I established
CelebrityArchaeology, a division of PHOTOlink, in 2014 as an innovative way to
distribute and re-circulate my portfolio of classic photos celebrating the lifestyle of
famous icons from the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Photo Editor
Globe Magazine- Boca Raton, FL
Here, I spent several years as a tabloid photo editor, assigning photographers,
preparing shoot lists and coordinating the electronic delivery and editing of
images on the Apple platform.
Chief Photographer
Globe Photos Inc, New York, NY- New York, NY
As the chief photographer, I shot still photography on 35mm film with emphasis
on celebrity shots. This entailed daily celebrity photo coverage, from red carpet
events, star-studded parties, premieres, fashion shows,
private shoots and environmental portraits.
Staff Photographer - New York Post, New York, NY- New York, NY
I started my career at the New York Post where I covered news stories and was
eventually asked to take photos of the rich and famous - which jump started my
career in celebrity photography.
