About
- Graduate MA Photography and Urban Cultures from Goldsmiths, University of London I have extensive experience in both assisting and photography. Over the past few years I have been working on and developing my personal practice as well as assisting in wide variety and photographic and video shoots. I have worked on projects ranging from commercial / fashion to documentary and therefore feel perfectly comfortable working in the studio or on location. I have ample experience working with different photographic and image software, mainly: Photoshop CS6, Adobe Bridge, Adobe Lightroom and Capture One. I use a combination of digital and analog cameras and formats in my personal work, so I am familiar with and feel comfortable handling a variety of camera systems (Canon, Nikon, Leica, Mamiya, Hasseblad, Yashica, Ricoh). I also know how to handle and digitally scan film. I am very friendly, creative, hard working, dependable and a good problem solver. I love assisting, take direction well and don't mind the long hours or working in harsh weather. Every assisting assingment is a new and great challenge, it's also a fantastic and invaluable opportunity to learn and see how other photographers go about doing their thing. Being a photographer myself I know how hard it can be to get the shot you want sometimes but I also know the great satisfaction that comes when you actually do. Helping someone else achieve that same feeling makes me feel great. Finally, I'm also big and strong. I grew up on a farm so I'm quite handy to have around whenever some heavy lifting is needed.
