About

I've been a London based freelance assistant (part time) for about four years and am looking to continue to build professional relationships with photographers who are willing to help me learn. Working in the advertising sector I'm happy to work from 2nd assistant through to front of house or production roles. For corporate photography I can work as a 1st assistant. I have excellent client facing skills, I can work flexible hours along with providing transportation (clean driving license). I'm a hard worker, hungry to learn and don't mind doing menial tasks such as sweeping floors and keeping the team fed and watered. All of this comes with enthusiasm and a good sense of humour. Technical skills include: Photoshop, Capture One, Lightroom (light use), DSLRs (mainly Nikon), Hasselblad (film and digi), Elinchrom, Bowens and Profoto, some continuous lighting and off camera flash. InDesign, Illustrator & Microsoft Office Creative skills include over ten years idea generation (graphic designer) and Art Direction along with some styling. I enjoy all areas of photography but most of my experience lies in corporate portraiture (shooting my own commissions), advertising and a little fashion. I'm particularly interested in working in the commercial sector.
