PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
I am London based photo assistant and a freelance photographer, retoucher and social media whiz for small companies.
As an assistant it is my goal to become a fluid, working part of the shoot and making sure that things run smoothly. I always aim to eventually be able to anticipate the needs of the photographer.
I am passionate about the photography industry and so anything I don't already know, I like to learn very quickly! I think on my feet and will think outside the box to find solutions to problems. Everything I do is with fun, passion and a smile on my face. Hard work, long hours and dirty jobs don't phase me!
I am highly motivated and self-confident with enough positivity to spread around the whole set and keep people upbeat on a long, hard day! I have excellent communication skills and an "I Can" attitude towards everything I do.
I have a basic knowledge of using and setting up both Bowens and Elinchrom lights and aim to learn how to use, set up and set down other makes of lighting equipment this year.
I am passionate about fashion photography and regularly plan, direct and shoot my own fashion images for my clients and also for my portfolio. I am more than happy to transfer any skills from this part of my life to my assisting whenever required.
