Approach.

WHAT IS ART PHOTOGRAPHY? WHAT MAKES AN ARTIST INFLUENTIAL? WHY ARE SOME PHOTOGRAPHS CONSIDERED MORE IMPORTANT THAN OTHERS? HOW DO THE VARIOUS PROCESSES AFFECT THE LOOK & FEEL OF AN ARTWORK? HOW DOES EDITIONING WORK? WHAT IS A ‘VINTAGE’ PRINT? HOW IMPORTANT IS IT THAT A PHOTOGRAPH IS SIGNED? AND… HOW DOES ALL OF THIS IMPACT VALUE?

UNDERSTANDING INTERESTS AND GOALS, shaping the collection narrative. 
Each working relationship is a collaboration, supporting you in developing your individual collecting goals. Working together to build a considered collection that reflects your taste and values, with the intention of stewarding your collection over the long-term.

Diana is also my teacher – sharing her expertise and guiding my journey. She pushes me out of my comfort zone, broadens my creative horizons and helps me see things I otherwise would have missed. After seven years of working together I think we understand each other well and our conversations are a two-way sounding board – which I really enjoy.
