I am a motivated and creative 24 year old with a want to learn and master new skills. I am very interested in photography, film and TV and currently run my own freelance photography business.
I have gained valuable experience rigging camera equipment and specialist remote heads for live TV broadcasts in venues all around the UK for some of the most well knows production companies in the industry.
Currently, I am a self taught freelance Photographer specialising in high energy roaming event photography. I have developed my own efficient workflows to deliver quality work to my clients every time. I am now changing my focus to Unit Stills and I am actively looking for productions to work on. I am also open to work in film and TV roles similar to my past experience as a Remote Camera Technician.

I specialise in Roaming Event photography but I also do portraits, automotive, e-commerce, and studio work too. My name is cemented with the venues and hosts of Reading town centre and I do a fair amount of private gigs too. I am completely self-taught and have a true passion for photography.

For the future I want to combine my love for the TV and Film industries and passion for photography and become a Unit Stills Photographer, inspired by people like Jasin Boland and Gareth Gatrell. So far I have worked on a student film (University of Reading) called Evelyn (credited) which went exceptionally well and I am continuing to be on the look out for more unit stills opportunities.

Remote Camera TechnicianAlan wells camera services
- Frimley, Camberley, United KingdomFull Time
As a Remote Camera Technician at Alan Wells Camera Services, I was regularly exposed to big ticket live TV broadcasts and live streams such as the FA Cup, Concert For Ukraine and Burberrys’ newly release range of fashion wear. My job revolved around transporting remote camera heads and dollies to venues throughout the UK and then installing them following the camera plan. Time at venues after rigging the equipment was spent on monitoring and operating the cameras before and during live recordings. A lot of this role was thinking on my feet, coming up with effective solutions to technical issues and problems quicky without disturbing the production. It was also hugely diverse - no two days were ever the same. Communicating effectively with the (small) team and everyone else on set was crucial.
