I am a creatively driven individual, with vast knowledge and experience, working within photography, fashion, e-comm studios and model agency environments.

As a photographer, I have knowledge in how to produce shoots from concept to image delivery. I’ve learnt how to work to deadlines, manage admin and organise meetings, create call sheets, cast and liaise with clients, model agencies, location managers and other on set team members. Selection of publications I have had my photographic work featured in: Vogue Italia / pylot magazine / glassbook magazine / not just a label / noctis magazine and clients include M&S (Spring Studios) / London College of Style / Le Roni millinery / Crease studios / 40 Winks Hotel London.

I have also worked as an image co-ordinator at Spring Studios, London. The general structure of the day working as an Image Co-ordinator was guiding the e-comm shoot teams, ensuring all items had been shot correctly, quality checking the images in terms for exposure, angle, and if they were coded correctly against the shoot brief. If not, I was alerting and directing the shots to the teams, providing comfortable working relationships and aiding the working process. The role gave me the responsibility of owning the e-comm shoot briefs and providing examples of the “perfect” shots to meet the clients’ strict requirements. These images are seen globally and across international stores, so the images had to be flawless and a high-standard representation of the product and the client.                            

Processes I introduced to the role included: a midday report, flagging to production the progress of the shoot teams (this was so we could keep the client updated) and a tracker for items that hadn’t been shot (so products weren't slipping through the net and we were resolving problems before sending to the client).
