2012 without doubt was an unbelievable year for Fashiontographer. Between events in Paris, Berlin, New York, Chicago, Seattle, and DC, to raising money for the Shoot for Change Scholarship at American Ballet Theatre and meeting Anna Wintour, 2012 has simply been phenomenal.
And it was truly amazing to finally be approved by the Fédération Française de la Couture to cover and photograph Paris Fashion Week. I’m very excited to see where Fashiontographer is headed and where it will be in 2013 – only because of the team involved and the support we get from all of you. For everything that you do, thank you.
