About

www.carlytumen.com As a self-employed Creative, I pride myself on keeping projects running smoothly from start to finish. My background lies in driving creative and execution of forward-thinking, for a variety of top-level fashion, lifestyle, beauty, health and wellness clientele. At Carly Tumen Creative, I’ve worked on many diverse creative projects, producing, creative directing entire photo and video campaigns, vision briefs, casting artists and models, photographing, creating graphics and logos, directing visuals for social media channels, and more! I am adept with a wide range of marketing mediums including Print, Digital and OOH advertisements, social media campaigns, and brand identity creative. Specifically within the influencer industry, I have years of experience creative directing and executing campaigns. Keeping in mind the influencer’s branding, brand alignment and project requirements, each party leaves with successful visuals. On a larger production scale, I collaboratively work with creative directors, art directors and copywriters, photographing various types of projects from on-figure lifestyle, on-figure studio photography to still-life lifestyle, and still-life stylized e-commerce photography. Understanding brand alignment research and my experience being on editorial and advertising photo sets, has been paramount to success on various projects. These are intangible skills that have helped push the sales button. On a personal level, I have a true passion for collaboration. I’m a dedicated and reliable team member, capable of working in a fast-paced environment. Clients have praised me for my ability to create efficiently while maintaining positive energy and enthusiasm. With an entrepreneurial background, I’m always forward thinking and brainstorming new and innovative ideas. I look forward to connecting with you!
