About me
I come from an advertising background having been a Photography Producer/Art Buyer at VCCP for 3 years prior to having spent the majority of 2016 exploring Australia and more of Europe.
The premise of my role was focused on my extensive knowledge of photography and illustration which gave me the creative ability to be able to source, present and commission artists on behalf of a number of our clients’. I was responsible for organising and managing the whole production process for a number of print campaigns from the initial brief right through to the final delivery of the retouched images.
This included preparing timing plans, negotiating costs and usage fees with the artists agent and being responsible for the production estimate and budget. The approval of the location, casting, wardrobe, hair and make-up, model making and set build. Preparing the call sheet and shoot schedule, leading pre-production meetings troubleshooting any concerns prior to the shoot and ensuring the shoot day runs as smoothy as possible and the client, creative’s and photographer are happy before managing the post production and reconciling the job.
I have had to handle multiple accounts to strict deadlines and numerous projects running simultaneously which I have done extremely well. I have never not delivered on time or within budget.
I am extremely enthusiastic and eager to learn more and develop my production skills in other channels as well as being exceptionally hard working which my references will support. I am looking for a related position within a fashion brand or creative company who can offer a challenging yet rewarding career within a dynamic environment.
