My passion for photography started early, purchasing my first ‘real’ camera, a Praktica MTL 5 35mm SLR, at just 13 years old. Initially drawn to wildlife and vehicles, I soon discovered my true calling: portrait photography.
After completing a Photography GCSE (yes, I go back that far!), I pursued an honours degree in Media Production and Technology, which provided a comprehensive foundation in photography, video production, lighting, and sound recording. This diverse skill set has been invaluable in crafting visual stories across multiple platforms.
My commitment to professional development is ongoing, with advanced training in:
- Photoshop
- Lightroom
- Adobe Premiere Video Editing
- Light Metering
- Magazine Model Photography
- Simplified Portrait Photography
- High-End Photo Retouching
- Natural Light Fashion and Beauty Photography
- Colour Grading and Retouching
- Animal Photography and Retouching
I’ve recently added a new dimension to my skill set by qualifying as a drone operator, expanding the creative possibilities for capturing intimate moments from unique perspectives.
I cover the area around Preston in Lancashire. I can travel if costs are covered.
