Profile
My photography degree helped kick start my four year career as a Freelance Portrait and Fashion Photographer. Along the way I’ve managed to add British actor Chris Jarman who played in the original cast of Harry Potter and The Cursed Child and Actor and Designer Oliver Proudlock to my client list. I’ve shot for many publications including the cover story for print publication Liike Magazine and American print publication Bleu Magazine.
With my profile rapidly growing I was keen to understand more about the business in fashion, so last year I took a different direction and got into management. As most new ventures I found the first few months very difficult but being one to never turn down a challenge. I found the skills to help me adapt to managing a forward and fast paced studio environment. Away from business and the arts I’m huge football fanatic with a passion for traveling and cooking.
