A bit about me
Since 2011, I have been working as a Graphic Designer in England and Northern Ireland, primarily in branding and marketing. However, in 2018, I had the good fortune to transition into the captivating world of Film & TV.
My design approach revolves around authenticity, whether it's for period or modern productions. I enjoy using methods and materials that align with the specific era being portrayed. From designing large format prints to crafting product designs and even recreating period-specific items. I strive to create visuals that transport viewers to the desired time and place in a graphical manner.
As a Still Photographer I prioritise professionalism and respect on set while working discreetly and considerately to ensure minimal disruption to the cast and crew during filming. I take precautions with my attire to minimalise any sounds that I may emit, such as non-rustling clothes and sponge sole shoes. I work from the back screen as opposed to the viewfinder on the camera so I have a constant awareness of moving crew and my surroundings at all times. My goals are to acquire shots that capture the essence of the production and key shots, through emotions, spectacle and atmosphere for bts documentation, marketing, publicity, and promotional materials.
My passion for both design and photography has seamlessly merged within the dynamic realm of Film & TV. I am driven by the desire to contribute to the success of each production by creating visually captivating experiences that resonate with audiences and industry professionals.
I eagerly embrace new challenges and remain dedicated to the exhilarating journey of creativity and storytelling.
