Elizabeth Krist
Elizabeth Krist is interested in helping photographers edit their images as they develop a body of work--for pitches to publications and clients, for contests, and for books. With deep roots in editorial storytelling and photojournalism, and occasional forays into exhibition curation, she is experienced in distilling a large volume of work into its most effective form.
