Hello everyone! Just so you know, I have a hard time checking my modelmayhem at work, so i don't respond to you right away, please do not get offended. For a faster response, please email me directly at alyssasilvestri@mac.com or send me a message on AIM at djshannasummers
Currently, I work for a magazine publishing group in NYC and I am a contracted agent photographer in Boston, Ma. Im also a member of the AP and I do a lot of photojournalism work for NPR.So, I am really busy and I rarely get to shoot for fun anymore.
I am not opposed to doing TF* shoots, but please be advised my time is extremely limited.
Also, I am in the middle of changing personal photo studios (located in Springfield, MA area), so for the time being I use the studio at work or I do shoots on location.
I started in the business as a make-up artist. Make-up will always be one of my passions. Being a MUA has given me an edge with my photography because I always know what exactly needs to be done to get the shot right without tons of photoshopping.
I have my Masters degree in Film and Television ( with a minor in neurobiology .... I know its weird) from Boston University. While I attended school, I worked on teams of creative and productions designers, makeup artists, costumers, and stylists. So, I've had a bunch of experience in all fields. I never stop learning new things in any aspect of film.
I shoot fashion, glamour, portrait, and even photojournalism. I am probably one of the most non- judgmental people you will ever meet. I am open to trying new things and any crazy idea you may throw at me.
Feel free to ask for a more detailed resume or references.
