About

I am a passionate visual practitioner, with excellent technical, organisational and communication skills, a willing attitude and an unflinching work ethic. With a grounding in fashion photography and portraiture, I am looking to broaden and develop my experience and knowledge by assisting photographers within these spheres. I have previously assisted photographers, including Product Photographer, Nick Dunn, and Fashion Photographer, Joe Whitmor and Justin de Villeneuve. I gained a huge amount from these photographers and the prospect of learning more from others delights me. Throughout my career, I have been responsible for the implementation of a vast array of projects and, as such, have had to effectively plan, prioritise and organise my work. At Airfield Design, I was a part of a fast-paced environment, working within a dynamic team. This instilled in me the value of sourcing and providing the most up-to-date and accurate information and having to reactively respond to ever-changing prioritised projects. Bringing this through into my role as Lead Creative for fashion retailer, Copperfield, I gained further experience in planning and organising, through heading the facilitation of creative ventures posed by the company founders. My logistical abilities have only been furthered through my freelance work. I feel these strong organisational attributes would be very valuable in an assisting role. I use on a near daily basis the software, Capture One and Photoshop and I also have a robust knowledge of the complete Adobe Creative Suite. With a grounding in fashion photography and portraiture, I hold in my inventory the foundational lighting standards as a pillar to exploring expression within these art forms. I have experience in darkroom techniques having worked in Black and White in the past and am eager to further my understanding in these areas. I am excited at the opportunity to utilise my passion and expertise in photography, along with my logical and organisational skills, in an assisting capacity and would be grateful to anyone allowing me the chance to work under them.
