I’m a freelance hands on art director and image maker working under the name Farside Creative. I have years of solid experience specialising in concept, design and artwork within the entertainment industry and in recent years have expanded my creative scope to include sport and lifestyle. I’m also comfortable away from the mac directing photoshoots and getting behind the camera myself as the need arises.

I have extensive conceptual, design, artwork, retouching and compositing expertise, enabling me to take a project from initial concept all the way through to completion.
