Creative Consultant
CurrentI have spent most of the last 4 decades working with photographers images and clients at the very highest International level. In Paris during the eighties, I worked in international brand marketing and development for the global cosmetic giant; L’Oreal. During which time I had the privilege of working on international campaign advertising, alongside multiple award-winning ad agencies on the ‘client-side’ with some of the world’s greatest photographers…For the past 3 decades I have been applying and honing my marketing skills and experience exclusively to commercial imagery, launching my own photographic agencies in both Paris and London, where I was fortunate enough to represent some of the world’s leading photographic talents and shooting for some of the world’s most well known and prestigious brands.During that time, I worked with creative departments, art directors, art buyers, picture editors at major advertising agencies, design firms, clients and editorial publishers worldwide. I won, sourced and produced world class assignments, advertising campaigns and editorials for my photographers. Delivered high quality, on-budget shoot production. Negotiated day rate fees in excess of $10,000 p/day and well over $30 million dollars worth of complex copyright, usage and buy-out agreements. I’ve nurtured fledgling careers, mentored others, conceived and implemented career changing marketing plans, whilst always maintaining and developing strong ongoing relations with clients globally.
