About me

Dedicated photographer and First-class graduate from the London College of Communication UAL. Serving as an assistant to Elaine Constantine, I've demonstrated proficiency in curating and refining images for high-profile projects such as Dior and Italian Vogue. I've also played a pivotal role in elevating Elaine's online presence through the strategic management of her social media platforms; Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. Ideally I would like a role that allows me to blend my technical knowledge with my creative prowess to create dynamic and exciting work.
