ABOUT ME: I am a photographer and branded content director specializing in fashion, beauty, music & lifestyle based between the US & UK primarily. I can provide creative counsel to brands on their short and long-form content outputs - from social media shoots and ATL campaigns to BTL PR shoots - I offer a full suite of services in this space, globally. EXPERIENCE: My experience includes four years shooting backstage at all the major fashion shows in Paris, New York, Milan, and London for Catwalking.com & The International Herald Tribune, for Fashion Editor and Journalist, Suzy Menkes, shooting backstage at all the major fashion houses as one of only six photographers with official access. BACKGROUND: Studying at Central St. Martin's College with a passion for life drawing and portraits, I began taking photos of subjects for reference. As my fascination with this artform shifted, I pursued a newfound love for photography at the London College of Fashion then assisted the likes of Rankin, Nick Knight, & Clive Arrowsmith. WIDER CREATIVE SERVICES: I work with clients' in-house or preferred studios and production agencies, but I also offer up these services through my production arm (Unread Productions) as needed. From offering counsel on the creative brief based on my 18 years of industry experience, image capturing, casting, storyboarding, location hunting or grooming elements, it allows me to tell the best story possible and I can be involved at the required stages - I adopt a plug & play mentality.

Creating a variety of content for Caravana in both Mexico and Mykonos, full creative services from concept, to shoot, and post production - in both stills and video content. Working closely with the brand for everything from conceptual campaign material to documentary film for the brand.

For the second year, I worked on the Samaritans 'Brew Monday' campaign, creating a video around 'the domino effect' of mental health, and how sitting down with someone over a cup of tea and talking can help people going through a hard time emotionally. With appearances from multiple celebrities the video was a great project to work on.
