Since 2010 I have been working with photography in television. In that time I have made thousands of galleries and have edited millions of photos. Below are of some of my favorite photos that I selected for press, but were used many times over to promote the shows below. Please note, I did not take any of these photos. The company and photographer are credited on each of the photos.

The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead had just started when I joined AMC. I have had the pleasure of working on the entire series from start to the end of season 4. I had to find a balance between bloody disgusting, pivotal points and sharing the amazing 'how it was done' moments of the show. Here is a selection of some of my favorite episodic and behind the scenes photos I chose to best represent the show.

All the photos here are taken by the talented photographers Scott Garfield and Gene Page.

Breaking Bad

Breaking Bad was one of the most intense experiences. I came in before the third season. I had never hear of this show until I started at AMC. As soon as I started watching it, I was addicted and this was the time the show was really starting to take off. It was incredible reading the scripts for this show, picking out the days with SONY and seeing the final results come in. It was almost impossible to only select a small amount of photos per episode. I am extremely lucky to have been there through the intense climax of the series finally. The cast was an absolute pleasure to work as were all of the people I worked with on the production. I was able to work with them twice as much when AMC created Talking Bad, hosted by Chris Hardwick, to decompress with the fans after every one of the last 8 episodes. It was a wild ride. Please enjoy this small gallery of images I selected to promote the show.

All of the photos in this collection are property of AMC and were taken by they very talented Ursula Coyote, Gregory Peters, Lewis Jacobs and Ben Leuner.

Mad Men

I started on Mad Men around season 4. This was one of the most beautiful shows I have ever had the pleasure of working on. The security was the tightest I have ever seen on a production and it was nearly impossible to see any of the episodes before they aired. The amount of photography on Mad Men was nearly double that of most of the other original series. Only through a coordinated effort with the production and PR was I able to select photos to promote the show. This gallery of photography is my edit of some of the most iconic photographic moments on Mad Men during my time there.

All of the photos in this collection are property of AMC and were taken by they very talented Michael Yarish, Ron Jaffe, Jordin Althaus and Jaimie Trueblood.

Here are just a few of the features I helped coordinate images for.

TV Week wanted a piece on 'Making a Zombie'. I had the entire process documented by the photographer.

This Entertainment Weekly cover was for the first season of The Walking Dead. I coordinated the selects and retouching between the vendor and EW to create this cover. The rest of the feature I worked with EW to get just the right exclusive images.
