I have a 25+ year background in researching, studying, and building collections of fine art photographs. I've worked with major museums, newbie collectors, and everything in between. This has given me a unique perspective on what it takes to build a valuable photography collection. Years and years of studying photographic prints has made me an expert on what makes a particular photograph extraordinary. Identifying by eye that magic combination of print date and photographic processes (eg. salt prints, albumen prints, platinum prints, gravures.) And the special quirks of individual photographer's habits, signatures, mount boards, and ink stamps used at various times in their career. This expertise allows me to spot rare finds, and I make sure my clients are the first to know about them.
This is why my clients often refer to me as their “Secret Weapon.”
Because serious collectors know that building a valuable collection is not just buying a bunch of photographs.
AND they know that the quality of your collection depends on the questions you ask.
