Leslie Patson is a Seattle based Photography Director specializing in product, adult and baby photography.
Leslie had been working for the past 8 years at babystyle.com. This experience required her to wear a multitude of hats. As Photography Producer Leslie scheduled all models, stylists and photographers, booked studios, locations and budgeted the shoot. As Casting Director she oversaw, negotiated and booked the entire look and feel of babystyle models from infants to the toddlers and maternity models.
When babystyle’s staff was trimmed down Leslie easily stepped into the role of Photo Director where she was responsible for creative direction, on set art direction including all still lifes and final film edit. It also involved working side by side with the in-house Graphic Designer on the design of the Direct Mail piece or website.
Leslie’s great hands on experience in the on-line/off-line baby/kid market complimented her previous years as Head Stylist at the Robison’s May in-house photo studio and years working in print advertising and fashion editorial.
Clients have included: Levi’s, Dillards, Esprit, JC Penney’s, Clothestime, LA Eyeworks, Entertainment Weekly, Los Angeles Magazine, Bon Appetit Magazine, Gottschalks, Monique L’huillier.
She currently works as a Talent Coordinator for Amazon.com
