About me

I graduated from the University for the Creative Arts with a First Class BA Honours Degree in Photography (Contemporary Practice). I have been a successful Photographer for over 10 years, with a portfolio of commissions from corporate clients such as The Discovery Channel as a Photographer during the Olympics and Paralympics and Psychologies Magazine as a Videographer.

Prior to conducting my degree I worked in a Relationship Manager Role for a Marketing and Advertising Company developing new business across the UK, Ireland and Europe, working with blue chip clients like Marks & Spencer and Heineken. I have also worked as a Personal Assistant to Director Level therefore I possess sales and administrative skills to a high degree.

This combined with my creative eye and ability to work digitally with programmes such as the Adobe creative suite Master Collection up to C6 including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Premiere, I feel I can bring a great deal to a Company, seeking an all round Freelancer/Employee.
