Connaissances:
I am a Freelance Fashion Photographer & Art Director and have had the opportunity to create content for a diverse range of clients including magazines such as Dazed, TANK & Refinery 29, brands such as Robyn Lynch, Octavia Banks & Limia Vintage, and up-and-coming musicians for various record labels. My passion is Editorial, however most of my freelance jobs have been event photography & press release shots. I love to shoot BTS as a hobby also, and have shot backstage at London Fashion Week many times, covering shows for designers such as Robyn Lynch, Daniel w. Fletcher, Carlotta Barrera & Olubi Thomas.
I have extensive experience in Creative Direction, Production, Location Scouting, Casting & Research from directing and producing my own personal shoots, which have been featured international in fashion magazines such
as MAPS (South Korea), PAP (Italy), Kablut (Germany), Mob Journal (France), GOJI (Ukraine) and Arttells (USA), and also on SHOWstudio (UK), ‘the home of fashion film’.
Through assisting, I have a deep knowledge of shoot logistics, pre-production and post-production, am confident with lighting (both continuous and strobe) and am proficient in softwares such as Lightroom, Capture One, Photoshop, Indesign & Premier Pro, and am skilled in both retouching and video editing. I have experience working with a range of different lights, including (but not limited to Profoto, Elinchrom, Godox, Broncolor, Neewer & Bowens.
I shoot on film (Olympus) as well as digital (Canon), so have plenty of experience loading/ unloading film, film processing and dark room processes.
I am looking for assisting roles as I want to learn more about lighting and expand my technical skillset.
