I am an English born South African raised creative. I studied film at AFDA Cape Town where I majored in both screenwriting and directing. I have a passion and a love for storytelling through film as well as photography. I would call myself a documentary photographer and my images aim to reflect how we interact with our environment and how our environment interacts with us as I attempt to capture a glimpse of the unspoken language that binds the two together.
I have worked as a photographic assist on fashion / product / advertising shoots. I also shoot portfolios for models.
I enjoy meeting and working with new people and I thrive outside of my comfort zone. Leadership, loyalty and patience are three characteristics I would use to best describe myself. I believe that these characteristics add value. I have learnt to take every opportunity and view it as a way to learn and grow more.
I am looking for work in the film / photographic industry and will take any opportunity to build on my experience.
I am currently seeking out intern or full-time work.
