Driven, focused and outgoing, I am committed to finding means of expression and story-telling through the visual arts. Since graduating with a 2:1 from the University of Essex, I have sought work in photography, creative and technical retouching, graphic design, film production and post-production. Using my keen eye for aesthetic and attention to detail, people skills, enthusiasm for organisation, diligence and determination to perpetually look for ways to improve my technique and efficiency to ensure I always fulfil my work to the highest standard.
I am a freelance photographer and cinematographer and since 2014 I have run my own portrait photography business, specialising in actor’s headshots.
