Elie Gardner

Since July 2006, I have worked for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. When I started, a big part of my job was training the photo staff to gather and edit audio to produce multimedia pieces. In my job as the online photo editor, I produced a few audio slideshows per week. I also had the opportunity to edit larger multimedia pieces, such as From Afghanistan, Feeding Africa, Recovery & Salvation and Reporting for Duty. Since January, I have worked as the night picture while also hitting the streets two days a week as a photographer. On the night picture desk I edit A1, inside A and all of sports. In mid-September I began shooting photos and video full-time.
