About me
In 2018 I graduated from LCC with a degree in Design for Art Direction. I have been experimenting with visual language at the intersection of culture and design. Besides, I have been working as a photography assistant for over 5 years. Employed on various fashion and still life projects, I became particularly interested in different lighting techniques and found this knowledge invaluable when working out ideas for set designs on different campaigns.

    London, United KingdomFreelance
    I have been working as first assistant to various photographers, shooting mainly in a studio environment but also on location. During this time I was responsible for the downloading and saving of all digital images, the sourcing and casting of models and model makers, as well as stylists, including hair and make up. I have worked with all digital formats, including scan backs as well as analogue film, both colour and black and white, up to and including 8x10 sheet film. Shooting predominately still life I was responsible for the handling, cleaning and care of very valuable, fragile antiques amongst other things, whilst at the same time liaising with art directors on set to organise a smooth running work flow. I also carried out the processing and retouching of digital images to photographers satisfaction.
