"I've been shooting for over 25 years in this country and around the world. Places like Greece, Japan, South Korea, Copenhagen, Hong Kong, Montreal, London, Amsterdam, Gibraltar, and Switzerland. Personalities like President Gerald Ford, Rudy Giuliani, Newt Gingrich, Dick Cavett, David Duchovny, Stephanie Zimbalist, Jack Gilford, George Plimpton, Mayor John Lindsay, Walter Cronkite, Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings, and Jefferson Starship; many top executives including Sandy Weill, Ronald Perelman, David Rockefeller, Robert Wright, Jack Welch, and Frank Lanza; and several world class athletes, such as Lawrence Taylor, Gary Carter, Arthur Ashe, Eddie Lee George, Virginia Wade, and Ivan Lendl.
Whether it's just one shot or an entire ad campaign, every project has different demands - from a studio portrait with a crew of five to a worldwide corporate campaign while traveling with just the client ...from chartering a helicopter in Spain to finding a camel in New Jersey. Not every job is complicated or expensive, but every client deserves to have their project be the most important one. I pride myself as being known as a problem solver - deciding the best way to create the most artistic photograph with the best control of the situation against all potential costs and uncertainties. Despite all of the preparation, I must always remain flexible enough to deal with split second decisions and alternative ideas to satisfy the client's needs, both creatively as well as financially. As the business changes, so must a photographer be versatile enough to adapt to the changing marketplace of how and where a photograph will be used."
"I hire Skip to do what he does, and he does it really well. After all the production meetings and telephone calls, there is only so much anyone can anticipate before you actually have to go out, make the quick decisions and get the shot - plus I trust his input. I know Skip will listen to the client's expectations and fulfill the visual requirements that I need.”
