About me
-I am skilled at producing high quality photographic images with great attention to detail. I feel this is one of the most important and key skills as high quality, refined photographs allows the end user to set themselves apart from the competition.
-Processing a good workflow routine allows me to work quickly and efficiently whilst making sure images are stored and catalogued correctly to prevent loss of data and corrupt files.
-I possess an outstanding work ethic, making sure I adhere to deadlines and budgets, making sure all projects are finished on time and within budget. This is more important now more than ever as we live in a world where time frames are tight and budgets are tighter.
-I am able to use a large variety of creative software on mac or pc at a professional level including -
-Photoshop
-Lightroom
-Illustrator
-InDesign
-Premiere Pro
-After Effects
-I also have over 10 years experience using a variety of Canon Camera systems, Including their mirrorless cameras.
-Analogue photography is a passion of mine and I have become skilled in using analogue cameras and manual lenses. As well as using such equipment, I have also acquired the ability to develop/process both colour and black & white film in a variety of formats. I am also able to use various darkroom equipment to make enlargements of the developed negatives using a chemical process.
-I possess a detailed knowledge of the operations and equipment in a studio environment. This includes knowing how to set up different lighting set-ups to get the best out of a particular subject and how to use studio flashes, reflectors and soft-boxes to gain the best possible result. Leading on from this, I also understand that such equipment does not come cheap and must be used, put away and stored correctly so as not to damage it, as that can interfere with time frames and budgets and could pose as a safety hazard to other staff and clients.
-Apart from my passion for photography and all things photographic, I am a keen cyclist in my spare time. My main interest is mountain biking and I often go away at the weekends to different parts of the country to explore, experience and ride along different landscapes.
-Aside from the physical activities, I am a huge film and music fanatic, going to see most films that are out as well as live performances by my favourite artists and bands.
