I have worked full time on a self-employed basis since April 2004 except for my time at ASA Infinity Studios. Since leaving ASA, I have returned to being self-employed. I’m currently commissioned for photography and design projects and I’ve worked with corporate clients, designers, marketing, PR and advertising agencies, charities and businesses throughout the UK and Europe. My photographic commissions vary in nature, but are often studio or location based. I photograph assignments from clients within the architecture and design, homes and furnishing, fashion, automotive and motorsport industries and from marketing, PR and commercial businesses requiring product, event and portrait photography. My design work prominently consists of the creation of innovative marketing materials and advertising brochures for both online and offline use, these often feature my photography.I have gained many skills including client account management, financial management, (both planning and budgeting), and the use of marketing and PR complimented by blogging and social media to create brand awareness and conversation. I’ve learnt to become highly organised and efficient using advances in technology to assist me. I’m experienced in pitching and presenting concepts and engaging ideas and have the business negotiating skills to win new clients and grow the relationships with existing clients.
