About me
I am often asked what it is I actually do, and to be completly honest I never really know the best way of describing my work. Within my work I fuse together a wide range of techniques and past experiences to deliver the highest possible result.
Projects
- QVC Bedding ShootsExamples of bedding PAC shots styled and dressed by myself that were then later used across QVC’s multi-media platforms from the website to the live broadcast channel. A great deal of time and thought goes into creating every image; this requires myself to be extremely particular in how I style and dress the set, ensuring that the viewer is visually drawn to the product on the bed.
- Light DrawingLight Drawing, also refered to as Light Graffiti, is a photographic technique that allows images to be created in a manner that leaves no impact on the environment in which the image is created. I continue to create these images with a variety of people, of varying ages and backgrounds, across the UK, within different environments.

Work history
Set DresserQVC UK
As a QVC Set Dresser it is my responsibility to ensure that all shows during my eleven hour shift are set to the highest standard and in keeping with QVC’s style, prior to going to air. Setting a show requires me to liase with a range of people from the studio floor staff, to the guests going to air. The objective of which is to create an environment that is aesthetically correct and to compliment the product/brand due to be sold.
Excellent time management and forward planning is crucial to this role, without which the installation of furnishings, dressing and product placement could not take place. As well as setting the live shows, occasionally I will be required to go out on location promotion shoots, both as a Set Dresser and Set Stylist.

Abstract
This thesis explores the application of what is best described as a kinetic projection screen and its use within a performance environment. It examines the kinetic screen’s application within performances over centuries of development, from the use of the Watchman’s Lamp (Heard, 2006), a device used to create shadows, to the modern day. How can this form of projection viewing be created and delivered within a performance? Is there initial evidence to indicate an alteration to the way in which an audience views the content on a kinetic screen, such as physical engagement, opposed to a static screen?
This thesis analyses theatrical theories and interviews with Arts practitioners and companies, who already have, or currently are applying kinetic projection viewing within their work. Research within this thesis has been collected through practical examination, illustrating the development, construction and demonstration of a number of kinetic projection screens.
