I am an aspiring creative photographer looking for an opportunity to build on the skills and network I’ve established through building my academic and freelance portfolio. Having graduated from Ravensbourne in 2015, I have spent the last year gaining experience in all departments at The Fold - a fast-growing, entrepreneurial fashion company. I have strong problem solving, organisation and planning skills and was recently awarded a promotion on this basis. At heart, I am a creative fashion and portrait photographer and have gained extensive experience in designing & directing my own shoots over the last 5 years (including post-production / retouching). My work has regularly been published in several well-respected international magazines, and includes some commissioned look books.

Achieved top quartile results in a mixture of theoretical and practical photography courses (pre-production, production & post-production). Became adept at conceptualising and organising photo shoots both on location and in the studio.
Some of my best strengths are in coordinating teams to achieve the best results and problem solving when things deviate from the plan.
