About me

I am an experienced picture editor, researcher and account manager who has worked for a host of leading titles including TNT Magazine, The Sun, Shortlist Magazine, The Telegraph and The Press Association.

My core editorial responsibilities include sourcing and negotiating pictures, budget management, commissioning (including fee and rights negotiation), as well as directing photo shoots. I have also career developed and overseen all management for junior picture researchers and internships.

Additional tasks include ordering high-resolution images, agreeing exclusive and non-exclusive fees, signing off proofs, checking cromalins, captioning and maintaining high standards of image quality.

I actively encourage the use of picture research best price guidelines and always use agencies that do not charge research fees and assist in web searches.

By ensuring all administrative procedures I develop are adhered to and all fees, terms and conditions are agreed in advance I am able to run my department effectively and efficiently. Previous experience in project management, promotions and Public Relations has also helped boost my man-management skills.

I work closely with the creative team on editorial and commercial projects and provide art direction for all photo shoots, ranging from celebrity and real life features to advertising and marketing campaigns.

With each project I manage the entire process within budget including research, production of a detailed brief, sourcing of a location or studio and commissioning of photographers, make-up artists and stylists.

One of my main strengths is my pro-active approach to building strong, positive relationships with agencies, photographers, production companies, PRs and agents. I make a point of developing awareness of new creative talent, which may contribute to the publication and have developed an extensive contact book that is constantly updated.

I am resourceful, dynamic, efficient and hard working and am able to work well across a variety of projects to tight deadlines and budgets. I have extensive experience of both Mac and PC packages including Photoshop, Quark, In Design, Word and Excel.

Overall, I am friendly, outgoing and actively seeking a fresh new, exciting challenge in picture editing and would relish the opportunity to work with you.
