Mini bio
How it started.
Kelsey studied film and digital photography in high school, building a makeshift portrait studio in the art building. She also signed with a San Francisco modeling agency, learning how it felt to work on both sides of the camera.
Taking the leap.
After college she worked in San Francisco PR and influencer marketing, including campaigns for LEGO, eBay and Starbucks. Weekend photo adventures grew into international trips and paid partnerships. She eventually left her job, ended her lease and sold her belongings to travel full time. Over a year and a half she visited 23 countries, while her Instagram audience and commercial work grew.
Sharing the craft.
Her work combines landscapes, editorial styling and self-portraiture. She handles concepts, styling, location scouting and editing, photographing herself with a tripod or directing an assistant. Her BILD Expo biography credits appearances in The New Yorker, Condé Nast Traveler and Outside, plus displays at Art Basel and in Times Square. She also teaches photography and social media skills.
