Portrait photographer and digital artist.Capturing pets, families, cars and much more I would create a memorable occasion using a varied range of techniques to engage my clients. Creating an experience that enables me to navigate through a studio session for a variety of photographic techniques and interactions.I would then edit each session to a high standard influenced by each clients personality or requests, applying digital enhancements and art work ready for the clients cinematic viewing.With an average purchase order of my images over £750 and completing an average of 20 sessions in one week.Also responsible of marketing the business through social media and telesales.

Responsible for all things photographic from postcards to weddings, very often I will be photographing full families in groups of 6 - 16 in their evening wear on the formal nights on board, paying careful attention to detail and using very traditional poses. Amongst many other photography occasions I am responsible for quickly editing large quantities of images and the printing of perfectly exposed prints using darkroom and chemical solutions. Whilst also being a ships photographer the passengers will often ask for advice and solutions for their own digital equipment and attend our seminars in groups of over 100.

Opening a private photography studio in 2011 and expanding into a publicly accessible location later that year opened by Prince Charles in November. Then trading to the public until August 2012 was a very exciting opportunity. Marketing the studio to families under the name of Small Steps Studio and being in a highly visible location the business soon became a leader in the local area for portraits and finding a need for baby passports met a solution for many parents. Along side the studio the business won contracts with local government organisations for regular work within community centres, schools and council projects, this commercial work was marketed under the company name of Xseed Photography Ltd. Also using the local talent and high profile contacts from networking in the area the business took on other projects such as night club photography, University student performance portfolios and weddings. I served as the creative director and photographer for the business, training our part time photographers, promoters and responsible for the company image.

Working as a mobile photographer, setting up a temporary studio in high end retail shops for a limited time I would photograph young families and then be responsible for the sale of each customer. Handling thousands of pounds in cash in each location and banking separate sales on a weekly basis. Solely responsible for the entire north east of England's company reputation. I would drive long distances often staying away from home whilst operating a self built photography studio and produce up to 15 sets of family portraits per day. Leaving this position to start my own company.
