About
I’m Dawn Whitmore. I have 20 years of photo editing, production and archiving experience. Over my career, I have managed photographic archives and sequenced edits of all sizes - from 50 photos to 150,000.
I have experience in large scale project planning, story development, media management, and collaboration with top tier production companies. I have worked in media and the arts my entire career. I am able to create, manage, budget and execute large multi-stakeholder projects.
Since 2014 I have been a yearly juror for the International Photography Awards (IPA). I am well-versed with many Data Asset Management systems and determining appropriate asset management needs.
