Based in London, I am working as a freelance photographic assistant whilst developing my personal Portfolio.

I began working as a full time assistant with Frank Herholdt, (both assisting and producing shoots) and went on to assist Garry Simpson, and Tim Kent shortly after going freelance. I now regularly assist Ray Massey, Tim MacPherson, Karan Kapoor, Zac Macaulay and Zena Holloway. I have worked all over the UK in conditions ranging from storm to strong sunlight, and from beach to mountain locations and I enjoy solving problems these environments impose. I also have experience of working abroad in France and Spain, as well as in London, in a number of exterior and interior environments including studios of all sizes, and underwater stages.

I have a full UK driving License, transport of my own (a Ford Focus - large load capacity) and am prepared to travel for work.

I have knowledge of both Mac and PC systems, and can work easily between the two, and have used Flexcolor, Capture One Pro/Pro 4, Lightroom, Photoshop 7/CS/CS2/CS3, InDesign, and GoLive.

My knowledge is wide spread from set building and general construction from both my own work and employment in the construction industry, through to downloading digital capture, image processing, digital re-touching and archiving, along with experience with working with film of all formats from 35mm to 10x8.

I have an Advanced Open Water diving qualification, and am trained to use drysuits, and licensed to use Nitrox to 40% mix. I am a keen diver, and eager to combine both my photographic assisting and diving interests, in addition to assisting on dry land!
