I worked as a freelance music journalist/ photographer, mainly focussing on album reviews and concert reviews. I worked in this role for just over a year before lockdown happened. I occasionally did reviews of albums and live concerts after that, but the workflow decreased significantly and I decided to stop, and focus mainly on my studies.A portfolio of links is available upon demand.
